Manage or Delete Student Submissions

Peerceptiv is designed so that students can upload their own work and move through the reviewing process without instructors needing to do anything. There are a few situations where an instructor may need to manage student submissions. If you have any questions, please reach out by email to [e-mail].

The two most common things you may need to do with student submissions are to:

• replace or delete a student submission at their request
• check on a submission flagged by the reviewer

If a student needs to replace or delete their submission:

Students can upload their own work if the submission period is still open. In synchronous assignments, students can delete previous submissions and replace them with a new submission as many times as needed until the deadline. A student who has yet to submit can submit until 24 hours before the reviewing deadline but they cannot replace a submission after the submission deadline.

In asynchronous assignments, instructors can push the student’s results to speed up the process) and then can restart the assignment. At that point the student can submit again.

To replace or delete work for a student, click on Progress on the left navigation bar and then on the row with the student’s name what you are submitting for. Click View/Manage Submission. Then you can download, delete (trash icon), or replace the submission.

If you replace the submission, you will need to upload the file or enter the URL or text and then confirm that it is correct.

If a reviewer flags a submission

If the reviewer reports that they cannot open or view a submission, it will need to be deleted or replaced. To do this, click on Progress and then on the reviewer’s name. 

Next, click on Reviews Sent and determine which submission is incorrect or unable to be viewed. It will often be the last review given since students have to submit their review before they can request the next one.

Click on See Submission and if you are also unable to view the submission or if the submission is wrong or inappropriate, then please delete or replace it.

Important notes:

• If you delete the submission, you will delete any reviews on that submission. This may require you to first see who completed reviews and contact them that they have an additional review to complete.
• If you replace the submission, the reviews on that submission stay. This option is best for minor changes to the submission. If the changes from the old submission to the new one were significant, then the reviewers’ comments and ratings may no longer be appropriate.

If you need assistance with this process, please email [e-mail].
