Well, there are some downsides to electronic submissions...

  • Student submits work in a file format unknown to mankind.  Or, at least, to Word.
  • Student submits a paper for somebody else's course.
  • Student submits the wrong version of the paper.
  • Student submits the notes for the paper.
  • Student cannot upload the paper to the ANGEL dropbox. 
  • Student submits a paper and it disappears into a shadowy netherworld, never to be seen again.
  • Instructor returns one student's paper to another.
  • Instructor accidentally deletes all of her comments.
  • Instructor's comments are now entirely legible, which generates more trauma among the undergraduate population. 

(Yes, still grading.  But getting there.)
