before they leave. You can make all students put down their
pencils 5 minutes before the official end of class if necessary.
They score a zero if you don't have both a paper and scanned
version of the test. If they complain, tell them to thank their
fellow students who constantly grade-haggle.<br>

<b>Subject: </b>[ale] [ALE] Linux happy scanner with dual
sided sheet feed?<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm not certain how to properly research this for myself, and
my efforts <br>
to date haven't suggested anything intelligent. As the
Subject: line <br>
suggests - I want to locate, then own, a scanner which will
scan both <br>
sides of a sheet taken from a sheet feeder with the additional
need of the <br>
device being essentially plug & play in Linux
(specifically Fedora 21 <br>
and/or Ubuntu 14.04).<br>
<br>
Background information of sorts. I am an adjunct instructor in
the <br>
community college system who has had to switch community
colleges in the <br>
past year. Formerly, my students didn't whimper and whine
about the <br>
grading of their papers much. Certainly they would call me on
errors and <br>
question me when I was sadly unclear in my comments, which is
good. This <br>
new school, however, has fierce grade lawyers who will haggle,
repeatedly <br>
and continually or a point or two here and there with a
desparation of the <br>
Spartans at what ever pass they held so many centuries ago
against the <br>
Persians. These people make the pre-meds of years ago look
good. I have <br>
already gotten in trouble with one program head, although my
chair is <br>
completely supportive.<br>
<br>
Best I can tell, the best defense here will be to retain
copies of all of <br>
their graded work. Since the accountants have driven us to
double sided <br>
documents when the school pays for it, I need to scan both
sides of 5-10 <br>
page tests and shorter quizes. Being part time (no
committees!), I don't <br>
have school equipment, nor office, nor file space. Scanning is
the only <br>
recourse I see at this time. The last test would have
represented a total <br>
of 110 pages to be scanned. These pages would need bursting
first,<br>
scanning, then finishing up with reassembling each student's
effort.<br>
<br>
At this point, I'd prefer to limit ideas and such to scanners
- but <br>
brilliant ideas of a nontechnical nature will be entertained.
(The idea of <br>
going to 100% multiple guess of 50 question and not returning
the papers <br>
has occured to me. It is hard to complain under those
conditions.)<br>
<br>
As always - thank you for your assistance. And for those
without interest <br>
in this, thank you for the use of your bandwidth.<br>
