<p>You can subscribe to entire discussion threads in your courses and be notified when new comments are posted to the topic. If you reply to a discussion, you will automatically be subscribed to discussions and will be notified of updates unless you manually unsubscribed to that discussion. Please note that you cannot subscribe to individual threads within a threaded discussion.</p> <p>You will automatically be subscribed to discussions you create in your <a href="../../4212/l/50009?data-resolve-url=true&amp;data-manual-id=4212" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="6AA3DFB6-E9B1-4D8E-967B-D38BBB90CCD1" data-object-manual-uuid="2E9743B0-E3D9-012F-D7F0-12313804AAC3" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">student groups.</a> You will also be subscribed to any new discussions you create in your course, if your instructor has set course permissions that allow you to do so.  </p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: You must specify your notification preferences to receive updates for subscribed discussions. </p>

<p>You can find your peers' feedback for peer reviewed assignments in the sidebar of your Canvas course and on the submission details page.</p>

<p>Your instructor may include a rubric as part of a graded discussion. The rubric is a set of criteria that your instructor will use to grade your discussion. Before submitting your discussion, you can use the rubric to evaluate your own work and make sure your discussion fulfills your instructor's requirements.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> Not all graded discussions may include a rubric.</p>
