Make sure you click the 'Save & Continue' button to proceed to the next tab.

'Peermark questions' allows you create the questions you want the peer reviewers to answer. To add a question, click 'Add question'

Enter your question text, the question type. There are two types of question you can use;
a 'Free Response' question - for example "What is the thesis of the paper?" and a 'Scale' question – for example "How well does the introduction pull you in as a reader? Scale, Not very well to
Really well"

For a 'Free response' question, enter the minimum answer length (this counts words).

For a 'Scale' question, enter the scale size and the lowest and highest values

You can also use libraries to manage your Peermark questions. Clicking on Library Settings allows you to create and delete libraries, and to save and retrieve questions from those libraries. There is also a 'Sample Library' which you can add pre-made questions from.

Short ped considerations

To see all the student accounts on this assignment, go to the 'Distribution' tab.
If you can't see all the accounts you are expecting, click out of the Peermark manager and go to the 'Turnitin Students' tab. From there you can click 'Enrol all students'

You can exclude student accounts from the Peermark assessment by clicking the red minus icon, and similarly add excluded students by clicking the green plus icon.

On the 'Peermark Assignment' tab there is a link for additional settings. Here's some explanation of the less obvious ones.

'Award full points if review is written' 

If ticked this means tutors will not be able to mark the reviews and a student will need to meet the criteria for every part of the review in order to get the marks. If unticked, tutors can assign marks to each student's review. 

'Paper(s) automatically distributed by Peermark'

This sets the number of randomly allocated papers each student has to review.

'Papers(s) selected by the student'

This sets the number of papers a student can choose to review. Students can review a combination of allocated and selected papers.

'Require self-review'

If checked, a student has to review their own paper before they can review anyone else's.

In the 'Submission Inbox' you can see details of all the PeerMark assignments set up for that Turnitin assignment.

Click on the 'Launch Peermark Reviews' icon
