There TIPS goes again! All these great insights have me adding to my summer to-do list: Create new boilerplate syllabus section on "File Handling and Submission".
That to-do list is already too long! By the way, any Tipsters going to attend the Eastern Teaching of Psychology meeting in Staunton, VA in a couple of weeks? It would be great to meet any who are attending. Paul C.

The bit that I left out is that you would have to remind/require that students keep back up copies of all their files. In this case, you would only accept a back up copy with a date that preceded the due date. This check also works for the students who claim that their email was down, the digital drop box didn't work or their internet access was not available, etc. Leah From: MARK A CASTEEL [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009 9:36 AM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Cc: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: Re: [tips] New cheating technique: the corrupted file. 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?

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 date. In Word 2003 choose File, properties, and then choose statistics. Again you will see the creation and edit dates. Unfortunately, we have caught several late assignments at our institution using this method. We always clearly tell students to NOT open or save the document that they claim has been completed on time. Leah Leah E.

Former tipster, Michael Renner (now provost at Drake U.) sent me this. Absolutely ingenious!! 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. That concept is at the root of a new Web site advertising itself (perhaps serious only in part) as the new way for students to get extra time to finish their assignments. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/06/05/corrupted <http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/06/05/corrupted> --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
