Paper management: The paper goes through a number of steps, including being handed in, being commented on, and being returned to the student. At each step, a copy of the modified paper is moved to a new location on the server. A database keeps track of where the most recent modification is stored. So, if the TA makes comments and grades the paper, then the Prof makes further changes, only the most current version is available, even though each prior version remains on the server. The prof or student don't need to worry about this, as it's automatic.

				Handing it in:  The student must "hand in" an assignment by selecting the assignment, "Doing" it, clicking on "Edit My Paper" and then clicking the "Hand In" button. This puts a copy of the writing assignment in the "HandIns" directory" waiting for action by the professor or reviewer. Note: the student may elect to hand in the paper before the due time, so that the TA or professor can give feedback prior to grading. However, after the due time, the assignment may only be handed in if it has not previously been handed in. This protects the student from making changes to the paper after grading begins.

				Student does a review: student selects the assignment in the assignments index, or selects the "Reviews" for the assignment and goes to the assignment. Note: Suppose the assignment is "Plate Tectonics Paper", then the Reviews part will be listed as "Plate Tectonics Paper Reviews". If the student selects the "Reviews" assignment, it will not be possible to edit or hand in the assignment. Using either option, the student will click on the "Do Next Review Step" button and a review will be displayed. The system keeps track so the correct review is presented. First,  each (in random order) of the calibration papers, then 3 randomly selected peer papers, then the student's own paper are presented.

				Student reading peer reviews of own paper: here the student again selects the assignment from the assignment index and "does" the assignment, taking him/her to the writing assignment index screen. Returned reviews are listed in the "Returned reviews" text field. Click on a line in that field, to select the review, then click the "View Review" button.

				1) select the assignment in the assignment index, and invoke the assignment.

				2) click on the "Edit My Paper" button. This will take you to the writing entry screen.

				3) from the "View" dropdown menu, select "Papers in Queue"

				4) at the right side of the screen, you will notice that a series of tabs appear. Click on the "Sel Paper" tab. A panel will open with a list of papers.

				5) click on one of the lines in the handed in papers list that is showing. The paper will load and display. You can then review it.

				6) click the comments tab to drag predetermined, or custom comments into the text.

				7) click the Rubric tab to assign grades to the various items to be scored. Note: the current method is to select the score item in the list, then click on the score field at the bottom to assign the score. This will be changed so you can click directly on the score items in the rubric list. Watch for it. You must score all items before returning the paper to the student.

				When you are finished scoring, you can: a) store it in the "Holdings area" where students do not see it, but your grade work is saved. This lets you grade all of the papers before handing them back to students. b) hand it back to  the student's directory. Note: if this is a CPR assignment, your grade will over-ride the peer grade for the paper.
