I agree with Keith and Michael’s early post… “The hell with anonymous grading” in this instance. Assuming that no one sends a veto, I do not think that we are truly breaking the rule if we agree to follow it in form but not in spirit. I fail to see the value in writing a blind paper that we all will get the same grade on. That to me is a waste of time as well as an inconvenience and does not directly address why the class does not want to follow the rule. If the consensus is that the rule is incompatible with the grading system that we have followed the entire term, then the only way to assert our bargaining power over the administration is to not follow the rule at all. Now that Professor Moglen has assured the class that nothing bad will happen to him( a concern that I find somewhat comical for students to have) the only way to truly say “fuck the rule” is by not following it at all. Instead we should continue what we started and have a third paper in the same form as our first.
