Hi,
There are a couple of permissions in the Resources tool that can help 
you in this situation. As Sam said, the best way would be to customize 
your own roles so that you get exactly what you want. If you dont want 
to create new roles, you could remove the "content.delete.any" and the 
"content.revise.any" to your instructor role so that instructors (in 
that site) wont be able to edit or remove content from others, just 
their own (make sure they still have the "content.revise.own" and the 
"content.revise.any". This configuration affects all the site, not just 
a folder :(

We customized all our own sites and roles, if you need any help, just 
let us know.
