Setting the deadline will allow for students to continuously upload their submission(s) to Automated Feedback until this deadline passes. After this is done, the final and improved version will be sent through to their peers to focus on the next level of feedback
- Required Submissions: Here you can set the amount of files that the students are required to hand in. Note that students will not be assigned to a peer for review if they submit fewer files than required. The submission requirement can be set at exactly, minimum, or between your chosen amount. Setting the required submissions greater than 1 will mean all submissions uploaded will be sent through to the peers of the student. If you use tools for one assignment and require one final version, be sure to select required submission is exactly to 1 ensure students review the correct version.

You can now start selecting different criteria that you would like your students' work to be checked on. In order to help decide which criteria are best suited four your writing assignment, please refer to Choosing the right criteria article.
- Next, specify criteria that will help guide students as they give feedback. You can set a deadline for students to review each other's work or leave it blank to allow for viewing and editing indefinitely. As students see their received feedback, you can decide when the students can see their feedback.
- Lastly, you can ask students for a written reflection (optional) on the feedback they received. You can select a deadline to write the reflection for students. If it passes, students can still view the feedback they received. Under Settings, you can customize your instructions for the written reflection
