The New Student Excuse?
Most of us have had the experience of receiving e-mail with an attachment,
trying to open the attachment, and finding a corrupted file that won't open.

There is a way to check Word files to determine their creation and last edit
date. In Word 2007, go to the home button and choose prepare, then choose
properties, then choose advanced properties at the drop down menu, then click
on statistics, you will see both the creation and the last edit
Thanks so much, Leah! That's the kind of wonderful help TIPSters are always

I assume, however, that this would only work once a document is actually opened
by word. If a document is corrupted and not able to be opened, would this still
work?

There TIPS goes again! All these great insights have me adding to my summer

Submission.
That to-do list is already too long!

This excuse has occurred several times the past month for projects and it works
to delay a late paper but after that, it is just another excuse. I am
fortunate in that I send them to the technology lab to reconstitute it into a
readable format.

What we call cheating may be interpreted differentially.I have noticed that

answers or allowing other Moslem affiliates to copy is almost like a religious

Unless the procrastinators are rather dull, it should occur to them
that all they have to do is change the date on their computer before they
compose the document to be turned in late.

It does not appear that you can change the date in the Word parameters (as
explained below) - they are grayed out. It just listed the dates the document

created is after the paper due
Sorry, Michael, but I think you are wrong on this.
I have a very good informant who taught last year at a private Islamic
school in another state.
All of the students in this school are observant Moslems.
She asked my advice for dealing with one student who had plagiarized on
an assignment.

Hi
If you google
plagiarism foreign students
or
plagiarism muslim students
(especially the former), you will find much seemingly credible material linking

Not really. The email or server time stamps the transmission of a file. I
have gotten files after the deadline that were server stamped before the
deadline and I accept them. But one that is submitted before the file is
