Allocation settings FeedbackFruits

Within an assignment, you can change the way students are allocated work to review.

You can do this by clicking ‘change’ in the accolcations tab under the given reviews section of the settings.

Automatically - One by one: The students will be assigned a review one by one, the second review will appear after starting the first one, and so on. This is the default and recommended method of allocation.

Automatically - All at once: Only available if the amount of required reviews is set higher than 1. With this allocation option, students will be assigned all the reviews they'll have to complete at once. The advantage of this is that students will see all their peers at once. The disadvantage is that it allows for less flexibility, i.e. if students only complete 1 review, the others can no longer be assigned to someone else who does complete all the reviews. This option is only recommended when the required amount of reviews is set to ‘all’.

Manually: It is also possible to create all allocations manually. Now, none of the students will be automatically assigned. For each student, you are able to select who they will review. Please note, that after clicking done, it is not yet possible to change the manual allocations you just made. For guidance on how to set up manual allocations, please review our help article.

Students choose who to review: By selecting 'Students choose who to review' as the allocation method- once the review process has started- students will be able to select the student or group they want to review at the review step. If multiple reviews are required, students will select the allocations one after another.
