PeerMark is a peer review assignment tool. You can create and manage PeerMark assignments that allow students to read, review, and evaluate one or many papers submitted by their classmates.

Peermark must be assigned to an existing assignment, so first set up your Turnitin assignment.

In the last tab ‘Distribution’ you can manually exclude and pair authors if you wish but your settings in ‘Additional Settings’ will have automatically distributed the papers so you can ignore this tab if you wish.
