PeerMark in the Document Viewer

Students may view the peer reviews for their paper within the document viewer once the post date of a PeerMark assignment has passed. To view the paper in the document viewer first click on the "View" button for the paper assignment the peer review was based on.

Once the document viewer loads click on the "PeerMark" tab.

When the PeerMark service is active the sidebar will display a list of all the students who have reviewed the paper.

All reviewer comments appear on the paper. Each mark made to the paper is identifiable by the reviewer’s initials, unless the reviews are anonymous.

To view a specific student’s comments click on their name in the sidebar.

The list icon can also be used to select a student or to select to view "All Reviews."

Viewing the PeerMark Questions and Answers

To view the PeerMark questions and answers click on the "questions and answers" icon.

The sidebar will load all the PeerMark questions. The answers are located under each question. If all reviews are displayed the answers are identifiable by the reviewers initials, unless reviews are anonymous.

The Comments List may be used to navigate to the location of a comment on the paper. Simply hover the cursor over a mark in the comment list and then click on the "show on paper" link that appears.
