Trust

Posted on December 6, 2005

I had a bad event today. A professor corrected yesterday my second midterm and I did not check if everything was OK until evening, unfortunately he missed whole page. So this morning, I went to show him that page, alas his reaction was “how can I know that you did not add this page?”. I cold only say that I did not such thing…
Anyway, I am very happy that he decided to trust me and I got a full mark for what was on that page.
But the question stands. How can it be assured that information was not modified even if I had enough time to modify it?

    Was the page at the end? That’s a tricky one =/

    This is also why I always put “continued ->” or “6 ->” or something similar on a page if there’s a lot of whitespace to make it clear that the exam didn’t stop there.

    No it was in the middle. But there were a some white space around.

    it is not you problem to figure this one out. But the teachers responsability to predict such a thing can happen and take measures..
    For example, write down how many pages a student used before handing out the exam, etc.

    Or something that i would consider common sens, actualy look at the exam when correcting. Instead of giving random marks here and there, while being restrictive enough to be able to argue in his favor ……. asdlfkjasldgkjasdkgj

    Yeah, that would have helped. Random marking sucks.
