Your instructor may assign you to review another student's assignment or discussion. Peer review notifications can be found in Canvas in the Recent Activity Stream, the To-Do list, and on the individual assignment page. Once assigned, you will also receive an email notification. Please note that not all courses include peer reviews.

A peer-review assignment allows students to comment on the submitted work of others. This process fosters communication between students and helps them master course concepts.
