How to Manage Your Group or Join a Group

Please carefully follow the instructions your teacher has given you. Sometimes instructors will create groups for you, in other cases you'll be directed to create your own group.

You can view your group members or add yourself to a group by clicking Manage Group.

You are able to view your group members or delete group members if needed. To join a group, enter the email addresses of your group members. Again, follow the directions given to you by your instructor; if your instructor created the groups ahead of time then you should reach out to your instructor before you change anything or add yourself to a group. 

How to Submit a Group Assignment

In a Peerceptiv group assignment, group members only need to upload one submission for the group. To submit for a group assignment, you will click Upload Submission. If one of your group members has already submitted the assignment, then you can click either View Submission to see what your group member submitted or you can click Replace Submission in order to replace that submission. The submission can be replaced up until the submission deadline closes. The most recent submission will be saved. All group members will receive the same submission grade. 

How to Review a Group Assignment

Each member of the group is expected to complete the reviewing requirement for the assignment. If your instructor sets up the assignment to require 3 reviews, then each group member must complete 3 reviews. Each member will receive an individualized reviewing accuracy grade and reviewing task grade. Click Review Peers and request a submission to review. 

If there is a Team Member Evaluation component and it is part of the group assignment, then this task will be available during the reviewing period. You would click Open Team Eval to complete the evaluation. 

How to Provide Feedback for a Group Assignment

Click Give Feedback to provide feedback for the reviews that your group submission received. Giving feedback is a shared process between group members. Only one group member should give feedback for each review, but group members should divide up the feedback tasks. If the review needs feedback, the button will say “Give feedback;” if you or another member has given feedback already, it will say “Edit feedback.”
