Not only do they ask for printed submissions, but often refuse to accept duplex, and ask for it to be double line spaced. So, the student has to print 4 pages where one should do - and it costs them 4 times as much.<BR/>We are raising it with the appropriate bodies!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087922860279622347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631200414899554974.post-43946896288259126382009-01-09T13:06:00.000+00:002009-01-09T13:06:00.000+00:00I really shouldn't be surprised but I was taken ab...I really shouldn't be surprised but I was taken aback somewhat by the fact that it is clear that many academic departments insist on paper submissions for assessments given the demand for student printing at certain points during the year. Surely a quick win in the effort reduction of printing and paper usage would be to allow the electronic submission of all student work where appropriate. If depts then really need to print them they can be done enmasse by themselves or via the Uni. Print Service which might be more cost effective than each individual student printing their own work out for submission. Also the costs of this are transferred from the student to the dept which is great for student satisfaction and an incentive for depts not to print unnecessarily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
