3When e.g. a youtube link goes down, there's a placeholder page saying the video was there but was taken down for some reason. That's easy to check.Dmitry Grigoryev– Dmitry Grigoryev2016-11-30 14:24:25 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 14:24

@DmitryGrigoryjev that's like one video service and one particular reason of ehat taken down can mean. Not mentioning that I - of course - assumed that link is the only change students can re-submit in that case.Tomáš Zato– Tomáš Zato2016-11-30 14:43:32 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 14:43

(1) I didn't mention any particular reason, and I'm pretty sure Dropbox and Google drive don't just shred your files without any notification and (2) I'm really struggling with your sentence link is the only change students can re-submitDmitry Grigoryev– Dmitry Grigoryev2016-11-30 14:50:06 +00:00Commented Nov 30, 2016 at 14:50

3"They submitted broken PDF. It's not exactly their fault, but it's fault of the software they're using." It's still their responsibility. This is a crucial lesson for your students to learn.Lightness Races in Orbit– Lightness Races in Orbit2016-12-02 10:43:59 +00:00Commented Dec 2, 2016 at 10:43

@LightnessRacesinOrbit Well, that's exactly what I was saying. Is it unclear? Should I formulate it differently?Tomáš Zato– Tomáš Zato2016-12-02 11:46:17 +00:00Commented Dec 2, 2016 at 11:46

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
