Submit peer reviewed assignments

When you submit a peer-reviewed assignment, other learners in the course will review your work and submit feedback.

You'll also need to give feedback to other learners. Your grade might be affected if you don't give feedback.

I cant submit my assignment

If you cant submit your assignment, make sure that your answers are all over the minimum word limit.

You may not be able to submit your assignment if your answers are too similar to another learners submission. Please keep in mind that plagiarism is against the Coursera Honor Code.
