The review process involves AI, Self, Peer, TA, and Instructor reviews, each giving you an opportunity to improve your work.
Peer Reviews
- Review Assignments: You will receive up to 3 review requests per Work project once you have submitted your own draft.
If by the end of the course you have received fewer than 3 review requests, no requests, or too many requests please contact the teaching assistant. - Peer Review Tool: You must complete 3 peer reviews using the CGMap tool. Sometimes this may be only 2 reviews and we will compensate for the system points.
- For instructions on how to use the CGMap tool, you can watch this video.
- If needed for better viewing, you may view the work in CG Scholar creator while reviewing the work in CG Map.
- Annotations: For an explanation of how to use coded annotations, please refer to the CG Map instructional video.
- Submission: In order to submit, you must create a node from each Rubric item (15). In addition, at least 15 annotations must be included. Annotations grading requirement is 20.
- Review Length and Ratings: Providing constructive feedback is going to be the most helpful to the authors. Please write strong explanations in your comments. If you deduct a score explain why and how the author can improve. Even if you like a section and give full credit, explain what you liked and why.
- Review content: Be kind to peers in your reviews! Be as helpful as you can, offering them constructive suggestions. Feedback should be unique (not copy/pasted) and be directly relevant to the work under the review section. Comments must be tailored to a specific work.
- Review Submission: Wait until you have completed all pending reviews before submitting them. More ideas might come to you while you review another work.
- Red Flags: Do not self-plagiarize, or copy work from updates or other courses. This must be new work. If you notice any problems with a work or the reviews you receive(e.g. plagiarism, offensive reviews), please inform the teaching assistant or instructor.

Review Process Order
Follow this order when doing reviews to refine your work:
1. AI Review: Use the CGMap AI tool to receive AI feedback and refine your work further.

3. Revision: Adjust your work based on peer and AI feedback suggestions and submit it.
Rubric Philosophy
The peer-review rubrics that we use in these courses are based on our Learning by Design research, and before that, the Multiliteracies project. This is grounded in an epistemologically based theory of learning, conceived as different kinds of knowledge processes, or “things you do to know.” In the first instance, this is an action-oriented view of knowledge and learning, and only secondarily a cognitively oriented theory.
The purpose of the rubric is to support creators and reviewers to think systematically about the fundamental knowledge orientations of their work. The coded annotations are in order to highlight specific examples of each generalization in the rubric. We are also analyzing these annotations as part of a research project exploring the potentials of artificial intelligence in education, in which users train the machine to detect higher-order thinking and epistemological moves.
Here is our “knowledge process” theory of learning in a visualization. The rubric is color-coded according to this visualization
See the Rubrics section below for work type-specific rubrics.
Self Review – Update 5
The Self-Review should be completed prior to your final submission. This is an opportunity to reflect on the improvements you have made to your work in response to the AI and Peer Reviews. This is completed as Update 5 and addresses both the peer and AI review processes.
CGMap
CGMap is a linked platform to CGSCholar. It enables you to annotate and review peers and your work in a visual way. You can find tutorials in the Course Community under Shares.
