PeerMark is a peer-review tool included within the Turnitin ecosystem. It enables students to review and provide feedback on their peers' submissions based on criteria set by the instructor. PeerMark is designed to promote collaborative learning, critical thinking, and engagement by allowing students to assess the work of others while receiving constructive feedback on their own submissions. PeerMark integrates with eClass through the Turnitin plugin, which adds Turnitin functionality (including PeerMark) directly into the eClass environment.

3. Add the relevant details to the PeerMark assignment
