In the settings for creating a peer review activity in a Canvas Discussion, there is a field labeled “Reviews Due” to set the date for automatic peer assignments. This label implies it is a due date for students to complete their reviews, leading often to configuration errors. However, the Instructor Guide (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-a-peer-review-discussion/ta-p/11...) refers to this feature as “Assign Reviews,” indicating that the date specifies when Canvas will automatically make the peer review partnerships/matches. The label “Assign Reviews” should be used in the software instead of "Reviews Due" for better clarity about the purpose of the date field, and so that it matches the Instructor Guide language. Please note that this discrepancy does not just exist in the screenshot featured in the Instructor Guide. It also is mismatched in the actual Discussion software feature.
