Who has the authority of saying what is right and wrong? There can only be one score on the paper and all things in math or not right and wrong if you give partial credit. Unless you hold a superior position (they are your students) then you can make your grades hold. But what if you co-instructed the class and one professor had no more authority than the other. Who is right? Does one have the right to force "what is wrong" on the other? Just curious. jason -- TOLBERT,JASON ALAN Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{allegra,amd,hplabs,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!prism!gt5599d ARPA: gt5599d@prism.gatech.edu
