Carol, I have done this for years as you describe, but always with the students' permission. But, now here is the thing. These permissions were often given verbally and, even when they were given in writing, usually via email, I doubt whether I can find any of them now. So, I am wondering whether I should continue showing these papers even though I might not have the evidence of the students' permissions.

I want to post some examples from 2 years ago on Blackboard (with names removed) so that students can see examples of A papers as well as lesser grades (probably not F because I don't think I have an example of one of those). My question is regarding the ethics of it. The papers are from 2 years ago and I believe the students have graduated. I have not asked them for permission because I am no longer in touch with them--their papers were in my files. I blacked out names and the site is closed to outsiders, but it still feels a little funny to me. Do any of you do anything similar? What are your thoughts on this?
