Copying gradings
A system should be added which prevents grading people from copying the exact assignment as submitted into the grading. Some of us write more than 500 words and get their assignment either copied back to them or a copy-pasted response from a grading person.
This is obviously quite frustrating for them, since they have spent quite a lot of time and effort in writing the assignment, only for people to not even read it.
Of course, this is no complete fix, since responses can still be copy-pasted, but it may be a first step into the right direction.
P.S. Yes, it has been made sure that people did not just correct the spelling to then copy it back, the returned grading completely matched with the assignment.

Wow, I never thought people would do this, I didn't event think of it as a possibility
Isn't there a rule against this since a bit over a year and a half ago? I know on the site I am on you should let somebody know if this is happening
I have let the Precetor of the class know of this and have been in contact with them to do something about this. I believe the main problem is that many people grading the assignments do not sign with their name, so it is almost impossible for them to be tracked down and sent a warning to / be banned from grading homeworks if they don't stop.
Of course, this rule exists for quite a while now, but it seems like people may just be ignoring it. I also sent two complaints about the two 'best' members of the Jade winglet, whom i have noticed copying the exact same response a few times by now, but it seems like not much has happened to prevent this, so i decided to get in contact with the Preceptor to figure out a solution.
My first idea of adding the names, similar to the layout of the letter system, has already been passed to the Preceptor aswell and i believe it is being discussed between a few people who may be able to code somthing like this into the gradings.
It is pretty easy for the teacher to find out who, by knowing the week and year of the asssignment.
You should let the teachers or head teacher know. Copied feedback may be against the rules.
If this is the case, you ( teacher/headmaster) can do something about it.
It's very frustrating when you don't get reasonable and individualized feedback!
