Answer» That's true ALSO with ESSAYS. Who knows, MAYBE mine have been stolen!
Actually, in school I did as little as possible of my work on the computer. I mean, seriously- if there was an option to NOT do it on the computer, I didn't. This was mainly because I didn't have a computer at the time (GASP! unthinkable! a 16-year old without a computer and a cellphone and a MP3 player?) but also because everytime I did the teachers would accuse me of plagiarism. :/
I thought I did something wrong the first time when my teacher wanted me to stay after class to talk about mine, I thought I must have screwed up horribly. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had done well enough for him to think I had copied it. I decided that I would try to do as many of the assignments for that English course using good old pen and paper. It's a lot harder to plagiarise that, Copy-Paste doesn't work so well there. I'm saddened to see that even standard printed writing has become something of a lost art AMONGST the younger generations.

My english teacher from last year MADE us write all projects by hand first, then edit it and re-write it on a computer. Luckily for me, I have an IEP (individual education plan), so I got to write the projects on my laptop and edit it on it too. Saved hours of work.
