Another member of the journalism faculty and I use the computers to their fullest. That is, we have created virtually paperless classrooms. Stories are turned in to a file server and we copy them onto diskettes for later recall on our office or home computers, there to be evaluated and then returned via diskette to the file server. The only time students might print out a paper is when they want a hard copy. Most of the other faculty in the department who teach newswriting tend to use the computers as typewriters.
Students print out stories and then their instructors put their comments on the papers by hand.
I use Microsoft Word 5.0 software, which enables me to do strikeovers and underlines, thus showing students what I deleted and what I added to a story. Unfortunately, strikeovers and underlines show only in printed copy. My colleague uses Word Perfect 5.1. I do not like marking papers by hand. In fact, early in my teaching career, one of my promotion and tenure evaluators who examined my graded papers said he could not read my writing and urged me to correct the problem.
