[Using Sakai] Assignment attachments

[Sean Keesler]

I have a question about the workings of Resources and assignments.

I know of an implementation that for some reason seems to have a lot
of "lost" assignment submissions. Reportedly, the students are getting
their receipts, but faculty are often not able to find the files. The
IT group has taken a shine to going into Admin Workspace and using the
Resources tool to drill down through the "attachments > {Class Name} >
Assignments > {Name of file} > {Name of file}" to seek out these
"missing assignments'.

Ignoring the fact that this shouldn't be necessary at all....

There is one class that doesn't seem to have a folder in the
"attachments" section of resources, even though students have turned
in assignments in that class with file attachments.

Is that pretty normal? How is that supposed to work?
