At my old high school, all students had to do a JUNIOR THEME in
English class, a large research paper.  In order to try to keep
students from reusing papers, they kept a file of old junior themes
(or said they did).  Also, they made students turn in their note
cards, which were a required intermediate step.

My year was one of the first that most of the papers were word
processed.  The teacher told us the department was considering making
students turn in the floppy disk they did their work on.  He couldn't
understand why the students thought this idea was funny.
