Description
Your instructor may require you to submit a peer review of another student's discussion reply. If your instructor includes a rubric, which is a pre-determined outline of how any assignment is graded, you must assign a grade using the rubric. In addition, you can provide a comment in the comment sidebar. Note: Before being able to complete your assigned peer reviews, you must post your own initial discussion reply first.
Instructions
