Process of reviewing answers manually

Once a student has submitted an answer and given and received enough peer reviews (and/or submitted a self review), you will see a number on a red background in the exercises tab. This means that there are answers waiting to be manually reviewed.

With custom points you can give any number of points between the minimum (0) and maximum. You can also view the reviews the student has received and given, and any reports given if the answer has been flagged by other students.
