This is true. I had one prof. that wanted word documents so that she could run them through a plagiarism database. I also have a problem with these for numerous reasons. I think that I should get a royalty from the service since they are using my work to further their business model. The other prof. wants word documents so that she can comment the file and send it back to me electronically. However, I prefer to submit in pdf. > Also, one would hope the profs are marking the quality of the CONTENT of > your file, not the quality of the formatting. That's true, but we are often required to comply with a style guide and to write within a given number of pages. I do have profs who get upset if you write over the maximum number of pages and this can easily appear this way if the margins or font size get messed up.
