How do I view student peer review comments as an instructor?

You can verify if students completed an assigned peer review. In the peer review page, you can view all peer reviews left on a student's submission. You can also view a single review left by a student for an assigned peer review. Peer review comments also display in SpeedGrader along with any other comments left on the assignment.

Students don't automatically receive a grade for completing a peer review. If you want to award points for peer reviews, you can create a no submission assignment in the gradebook and assign points manually.

Note: When anonymous grading is enabled, instructors cannot view peer review comments from the peer review page.

If anonymous peer reviews are enabled, you and your TAs can still view the names of student reviewers in the submission details page.
Group assignments will include comments sent to all group members.

If you added a rubric to the assignment, you can view the peer reviewer's rubric assessment. To switch between reviews, select another name from the Show Assessment By [1] drop-down menu.
