In my upper level courses I require that papers be emailed to me, for some of the reasons (such as keeping track) already stated but also because it helps to have the papers in electronic form when I have to investigate dishonesty, such as plagiarism. In my syllabus I have statements about computer hygiene and file formats and keeping backup copies whenever anything is mailed to an instructor. Another reason is that the college explicitly requires that our students demonstrate computer competencies, including emailing an attachment, so we are encouraged to do things in our courses that help students develop such competencies. In Intro Psych, I encourage submitting by email and give them help figuring out how to do things such as saving files in RTF if they don't use Microsoft Word. Nathalie Cote Belmont Abbey College

I am considering a "no emailed assignments" policy, but just wonder if I'm being school-marmish and mean. Do you regularly allow students to do this? Thanks for any help you can provide. I don't want to turn into a bitter old man. m ------- "Whatever power the United States Constitution envisions for the Executive in its exchanges with other nations or with enemy organizations in times of conflict, it most assuredly envisions a role for all three branches when individual liberties are at stake." --- July 20,2006 US District Court for Northern California --- To make changes to your subscription go to: http://acsun.frostburg.edu/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=tips&text_mode=0&lang=english
