There's a simple solution to this: tell students if they try to get an assignment to you some other way rather than in person and you don't get it or can't read it, it's late or you've never received it. I have gotten corrupted files, files no software would read, papers under my door which mysteriously disappeared, e-mails that were never received, "forgotten" attachments to e-mails, etc. These have been happening for years! Recently I've been using Turnitin in addition to paper copies, so there's no excuse now...

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>> --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly (bsouthe...@frostburg.edu)
