Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to set up a course?
Most instructors set up their first course in under 30 minutes. You can import student rosters via CSV or add students manually.
Can students see who rated them?
No. All peer evaluations are anonymous by default. Students see aggregated feedback but never individual ratings attributed to specific peers.
How many assessment rounds can I run per semester?
As many as you'd like. We recommend at least two — a formative mid-project check-in and a summative end-of-project evaluation.
Does CoStudy integrate with my LMS?
We support LTI integration with Canvas, Blackboard, and other major learning management systems. Contact us for setup details.
What if a student doesn't complete their evaluation?
Instructors receive notifications about incomplete evaluations and can send reminders or extend deadlines as needed.
