However, I have not seen any comments from actual instructors indicating they would want to post their homework assignments to piclist. There don't "appear" to be many instructors on piclist in the first place, and the only one responding to this so far, Fr. Tom McGahee, hasn't indicated he would post his assignments. Also, believe me when I tell you that an instructor can easily identify problems such as this. If he/she has a somewhat shaky student, and suddenly they turn in something of obvious professional quality, it is very apparent. My point has been that I don't believe having a [HOMEWORK]: tag is going to be very effective. I also realize this doesn't help with your particular dilemma. best regards, - dan michaels ================ -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
