Steev does practically all of his college assignments online. Oftentimes, group projects are also done online though I don’t understand how it is possible to have a ‘real’ discussion without meeting up face-to-face. But I’d best keep those doubts to myself lest I be labelled a dinosaur .

After each person in the project team is done, they’ll pass along their portion of the paper to someone to compile. Steev doesn’t like being that person. It’s not that he hates doing the work, his biggest concern is whether his friends’ files are infected.

Apparently there’s a high incidence of viruses being passed backwards and forwards between students working on common files and documents.

I wonder if the college has any data protection solutions since they’re likely to be hit since the students access the college computers so often. I’m pretty sure their IT department would’ve taken care of that. Still Steev is very careful with what he loads into his laptop.
