Students cannot see their feedback in peer review rubric

[karin_molander_]

I set up an assignment with peer review, a rubric in which students are supposed to write comments. I can see their comments in Speedgrader, but they cannot see the feedback they provided, and therefore not edit it, once they have submitted. This is unfortunate, since they are graded on their feedback, and may want to revise it. Is there anyway they can access what they have written?

Hi  @karin_molander_  - I've played around with peer reviews a bit myself to assist faculty at my own institution, and I have to admit I've not run into this.  I just now tried this in a sample class with peer reviews and logged in as students, and I have to say you are absolutely right....once students submit their own comments/rubric, etc., to their peer, they indeed can NOT see what they wrote on the peer review rubric when they head back to the assignment.  This is true even BEFORE it is graded by the instructor.  Somewhat more frustratingly, when they go back to the rubric, not only can they not see their comments, they cannot see their rubric scores, either.  (It reads as 0 points.)

I guess the only thing I can suggest is that you create a Feature Idea regarding this.  (See How do I create a new feature idea in the Canvas Community? ) Otherwise, forewarned is forearmed, as they say, and the next time you do something like this you may want to suggest the students take a screen capture of their work right after they submit the rubric (when they can still see it).  Once they back out of the assignment and try accessing it again, it's too late! 

That said, I have to say that it's not too unusual for students not to be able to edit something after submission in Canvas, generally.  For example, instructors can disable the ability for students to edit their own discussion posts, and once an assignment is past its UNTIL date, students cannot resubmit an assignment.  (They can also never remove comments submitted with an assignment.)

This is an interesting case, Karin, and sorry that about all I can do is confirm what you're seeing.

Thank you so much, Ken, that was really helpful. My students mostly just want to check that what they did actually "took," and to them the rubric looks empty. So they worry, and email me, which is unnecessary. 🙂

Hi again Karin - Well, I guess all you can do is assure them that the check mark indicating that it was completed (which they should see when they return to the assignment under "Assigned Peer Reviews") helps, but I understand the concern!

Hi,  @karin_molander_ ‌, Ken has given you great guidance, but there's no need to create a new feature idea: instead, please add your vote to https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/14958-allow-students-to-re-access-peer-reviews , which is open for voting at this writing.

Thank you, stefaniesanders! (I admit this is one time I didn't check those current ideas!  Drat!)

Thanks Stephanie, I've voted. 🙂

Is there a way for students to see the rubric filled out by their peers? For example, once JOE fills out his rubric for JILL's essay, JILL cannot see the rubric that JOE filled out. I can't find anything in the canvas guide/community that addresses seeing RUBRICS. Only submission comments.

Has the ability for students to view what they have submitted changed at all since 2020 in response to this post? I have not used rubrics, but might consider using them in peer review if this issue has been resolved...

Thanks, all!
