On an assignment that has a signup sheet, during a review period, a topic is reviewable if has received less than _threshold_ more reviews than the least-often reviewed submission for the assignment. In other words, if my submission has received 4 reviews, and your submission has received 1 review, then if _threshold_ is 2, my submission will not be reviewable, because it's received 3 more reviews than yours, and the threshold is 2. But, if my submission has only received 3 reviews, and the threshold is 2, it _will_ be reviewable, because the difference in number of reviews is not greater than the threshold.

But, this needs to be better explained in help screens, as the following e-mail message demonstrates:

Hi guys,

If I put a number 2 as the threshold, will that limit my students to only 2 reviews?

Thank you!
