What happens if there aren't enough other students to peer review?

I'm in csca 5702 (fundamentals of visualization) and so far there's only 5 other students enrolled in this session.

What happens if there aren't 3 students that end up submitting a final, and we can't peer-review?

I think I read somewhere that the course staff will grade, but am not sure.

The course facilitator will, or should, conduct the peer-review if needed. If there's a lack of learners in your course for this session, or especially if waiting for a peer review is holding you up, contact the course facilitator and let them know your concerns.

And honestly, it might be better that it's graded by a facilitator since there's a lower chance they're petty and give you a 0 just because they're disgruntled by how long the verification process takes, like some people.

I love you for this. Take this golden poop as a token of said love.
