7. Be aware
of students who look in their laps during a test. They
will either have a cheat sheet on their laps or
answers written on their thighs. |
|
8. Be aware
of students who look at their hands during a test. They
will often write the answers on their palms and arms. |
|
9. Never
allow students to talk during a test. |
|
10. Watch
for a pattern of grades from one class to another. If
one of your classes has a pattern of high grades than
the rest of your classes, there is a good chance
that answers are being exchanged during lunch, a break
or another class. |
|
11. Keep
desks apart to avoid temptation. |
|
12. Never
leave your answer keys on your desk. Students can
quickly pick them up or memorize the answers. |
|
13. Don't
give the same test to every class. Scramble the
questions from one class to the next. |
|
14. Don't
allow Blackberries, recorders, cell phones or any other
electronic device. There is an epidemic in text
messaging and image transmission of answers, questions
and whole test pages. |
|
15. Keep the
students in the class during the test. Often students
will hide answers and review them in the bathroom or
hall. |
|
16. Don't
leave the room during the test for any reason. This is
an open invitation for the sharing of answers. |
|
17. Don't
have a substitute give a test. Most subs are not trained
or certified. They don't have the knowledge
required to answer student questions. The students will
feel that the test is not important, since you are not
there to administer it. |
|
18. In
homework assignments and essay tests check for
plagiarism
and stolen work. Students will often copy others work or
cut and past information from the internet. If what they
are writing does not match their level, handwriting,
or if you feel you have read it before, rest assured that
it is not their work. |
|
19. Make the
punishment for cheating severe enough so the students
will not be tempted to try it again. If you don't
punishment them properly they will continue this
behavior. |
