Hi Liz, We've come to the conclusion it would be too difficult, and are focusing instead on educating students about academic integrity with huge support from the Guild of Students, plus the usual Turnitin checks etc (I know these won't catch the bespoke essays). Of course, this raises the question of whether a return to conventional exams is the way forward...

I would be very grateful to hear from you With thanks in advance E. [http://www2.hull.ac.uk/Administration/images/email_logotype.jpg] .......................................................
