[Peer Review] Have two due dates for peer review assignments

For assignments that are setup for peer review, it would be useful to have two different due dates:
  • One for the students initial submission that will be reviewed by their peers
  • A second one for completing assigned peer reviews

 

In the current implementation, there is only one due date, which appears to be the due date for a students initial submission.  I infer this from the fact that it is the default date for assigning peer reviews to students.  From what my students have told them, once peer reviews are assigned they show up on their to-do list, but are already late since the due date is the only date for the assignment.

 

I think a clearer implementation would be to have an additional due date for the peer reviews, so that they don't appear to be late as soon as they are assigned.

Problem statement:

The "Automatically assign peer reviews" setting allows you to assign reviews on a date other than the due date. This is very powerful if you want to implement peer review before the due date, as it allows the student to incorporate improvements suggested by their peers into the final version of their presentation. However, this type of intermediate feedback requires careful management of the calendar and key dates to ensure the process runs smoothly.

Proposed solution:

Our proposal is to be able to specify more dates in the configuration: 1) The first date on which the first version of the document must be submitted (new) 2) The date on which peer assignments will be made (already exists) 3) The date on which the peers must have carried out the review (new) 4) The deadline to the final submission (due date) We are aware that all this information can be given through an announcement in the classroom, but in this way the whole process would be much clearer for the student. We hope you find our idea interesting. Thank you.
