Re: teaching assignments - office - can you tell the orginal from

The problem is how much work goes on in the front end. If each student has a different assignment the issue becomes moot, no? Wrong, they may have paid for the work. So, then where will you "know" they cheated? There is no "magic bullet", heck this is the reason there are proctored exams, check your cell phone at the door, no long sleeves etc. Anything you can devise, the determined student can get around. So it is an arms race to see who wins. You will be the sole judge of what is suspicious and then determine whether or not there is grounds for action.

if you are an instructor

like the treasury dept.,

is there a way to tell the difference between an orginal from a copy of the
original document? In teaching Office 2007 at the high school level, lab
assignments are given to an entire class. can you tell if one person did the
assignment and the rest of the class just copied that document and turned it
in as their own. thank you.
