Yes, but I record the grades at the time so if a student did that they would be caught. Not advisable:-) > > How will folders and tags make the process more pleasant?

This is out of about 60 students. I also allow partially done assignments to be redone (since syntax seems to be a problem for most...). At the end of the semester, that is a *long* list of assignments to wade through to make sure I have an accurate grade. Tags like "graded", or "finished", would be useful since it would shorten the list significantly. We have to issue grades 3 times a semester (oh joy), so tags such as "6 weeks" or "12 weeks" would be helpful. Also tags for a specific assignment (so I could see which are the most "popular") could be helpful. I plan on using Sage next semester for a different class (this semester it is only differential equations), so tags/folders to differentiate classes would be great. To answer your question, what I do is ask students to include in the title their name, student number assignment number, and exercise title, and then to send me an email saying "I did my 2nd computer project, it was on Euler's method and I shared it with you." For example, the title could be "Jones, 123456, CP2, Euler's method", to which I might add "Jones, 123456, CP1, Euler's method (graded, 3/10)", if they didn't do a good job. > > Thanks, > > Jason > > > > -- > Jason Grout > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
