Hypothetical question

[exirabit]

Hi All,

This question came up in a graduate group and I was curious how you all would respond.

Lets supose you were a TA for a class and you had a student who you did not have scores for multiple assignments over the course who could not produce copies of the work but insisted they turned them in what would you do?

Someday I'd like to grade a class based on need. It would be so easy - all the freshman and sophomores would fail, half the juniors would pass, and all of the seniors would pass. The only work I would have to do would be to choose between the failing and passing juniors. So much less work for me than when I have to determine what grade they've actually earned.

I have papers to grade during spring break this week. I think this is what I'm going to do. Thanks!
