A Feast For Crows

Finally finished A Feast For Crows last night... ( spoilers ahead, matey! )

I guess that's not much of a review, is it? Oh well...

So my students are to submit their take-home midterms electronically - this will be my first go at grading essays without a printout of them. I have one student who only has MS Works. And, because this is MS, WordX can't recognize the file format. What the hell is up with that? Software from within one company that can't play nicely together? (And yes, I've been aware of this particular problem for years and years. And it never fails to irritate me.) I can make Office extract the text from the file, but that's obviously a sub-optimal solution. I've asked her to see if Works will let her save the files as either .rtf or even as .txt and we'll see what happens.

I'm just glad she brought this to my attention several days before the exam is actually due. Hooray for responsible students.
