Student reviews from last year may have been specific to that year and may no longer work this year. Please enter some grades for the new year and if you find a problem, email the Online Helpdesk with an OUTPUT.XML file containing the relevant data and also the review design that needs editing. Please allow a few weeks before the reports are due to go out for editing/testing.
