To download student papers:

papers. To download papers:

then the link for the assignment folder.

Note: if you want to select all
the student papers click on the check box at
the top of the
left column, immediately to the left of the Delete button.
- When the desired papers are selected click on the Download
button.
The student files will be combined into a single
zipped file.
- Save this zipped file to your computer.
- To open
the zip file double-click or right-click on the zip file and
and select Open with Winzip.
- Winzip opens and lists the
files.
- To extract the files click on the Extract button,
select a location, and click Extract.
All student papers are
identified with the student's name in the file name.
Notes on students resubmitting
papers:
- Students can return to a Dropbox folder and
resubmit additional papers until the end date specified by
the instructor. Additional papers, even if they have the
same filename, do not replace the original file.
- All files
dropped off by any student appear as a list and include the
date and time the file was dropped off.
The ability to
submit multiple documents might seem a bit problematic but
it allows the student to correct mistakes such as uploading
the wrong file or uploading a file that didn't have the
latest changes saved. In any case, students have an
opportunity to add their comments and plead their case. As
always, how this is handled is up to the discretion of the
instructor.
