ElenLeFoll - I am only now realising that some (many?) undergrads do not understand the concept of sending a file via e-mail because they are so used to files being saved in clouds. It's the first time I've had to explain that, if I send you a file, then you now *own* that file and, if you modify it and then (accidentally) delete it, your version of that file is gone (or in the trash, if you're lucky). #GettingOld
