what do you mean by grades? you input criteria and, then it categorizes students accordingly?A software publisher sent me a stat package that teaches and grades students.
it's ok to require the use of some software ... i do this with minitab in my coursesHe also sent copies that my students could use for free for one semester. This is okay. However he offered to pay me if I would require my class to use the software
you don't have a right to pass along student grades ... even if anonymous ... these are not your grades ...and if I would sent an anonymous list of their grades and their scores from the use of software to him.
_________________________________________________________After asking several faculty here, they reaffirmed my belief that acceptance of this payment would be unethical if not illegal at my university. Soon I am going to send a letter to the publisher indicating my conerns. However I was curious to see if people on the list feel this is as unethical as I feel it is.Mark Eakin Associate Professor Information Systems and Management Sciences Department University of Texas at Arlington [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
