Introduction
In this article we will walk you through how to use Assignment Review from the perspective of a student.
If you’d like more information on how this tool works, you can check out the overview article here:
Tool In Action
Accessibility
We're devoted to making our tools as accessible as possible for all learners - to read more about accessibility in FeedbackFruits tools, check this article: Accessibility: Within FeedbackFruits Tools.
Step 1: Instructions
In this step, you can read the instructions that have been set by your teacher.

Step 2: Hand in
Submit your assignment at Step 2. You can either upload a file from your computer by clicking Select File or drag and drop the file into the designated box. Alternatively, you can paste a website link, such as a YouTube video, if applicable. Once done, click Submit.
Note: Ensure you upload your files as directed (instructions are usually listed below Hand in) and before the deadline. Late submissions might be accepted at your teacher's discretion, but it's crucial to adhere to the given guidelines. Most formats are generally accepted, but refer to your teacher's instructions for specific requirements.

When you have handed in your work, the following screen will appear. You should see the name of your file, a green checkmark with the text hand-in received, and a bin symbol in case you want to delete a submission.
Note: you will only be able to delete a submission before the assignment deadline.
If you want, you can add more files. By clicking on your file, you can view your submission in a separate window.
Step 3: Feedback by teacher
As the teacher provides feedback in this assignment format, you, as a student, can proceed directly to the next step (Step 4: Read received feedback) once the teacher has completed giving feedback.

Step 4: Read received feedback
When the teacher completes their feedback, you see the following. First, you see a status indicator - in the screenshot below, the student has reviewed their feedback, so there is a checkmark with completed next to it. Next to the status indicator is the grade weight this step has - in the example we are using, it is worth 40% and the student has achieved the full 40% grade.
You can also see who you have received feedback from below the View Feedback button.

To view your feedback, click on View Feedback to open the feedback page. If multiple teachers have provided feedback, you can navigate between them using the Show feedback given by option. Selecting All reviewers will display all feedback on a single page.

Your progress in reviewing feedback is displayed below your name and will automatically update once you’ve read all the feedback provided. Additionally, you can view your submission by clicking Open.
To download the feedback you received, click the Download button in the upper-right corner of the page.

As you scroll down, you’ll see the feedback points provided to you. If your teacher has left a comment, you’ll have the option to view it and reply or give a thumbs-up to a comment if you wish.

Step 5: Reflect on the assignment (if made available)
If your teacher has added the step to reflect on the assignment, it will be shown at step 5. Students can start with this step when step 4 Read received feedback is available. When this is not yet the case, the step will be presented as shown in the image below.

This is how it appears once it's open for reflection. You can write your reflection in the text box and click Submit when you're finished. Please note that you can edit your reflection until the deadline has passed. Once the deadline has passed (if applicable), you will no longer be able to edit your reflection.

Grading
Finally, at the bottom of the assignment, the points of the grading are shown (see image below as an example).
Fig. 10: Grades
When the teacher hasn't enabled grading (yet), then the assignment won't be graded unless your teacher enables it. This grading section will then be shown as in the image below:
