As a result, the students cheat off of other students. Now, when the students are taking a test, what would be the best set up for the desks? And for the students that have cheated before, where would you place them in the classroom?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 8, 2023 8:14 pm eLaqeV Reps: 101 I would sit the students in rows to reduce the risk of students cheating on each other. Changing the seating arrangement to rows provides students with space and increases their focus since desks are faced towards the front of the classroom. Also, I would sit any student who has cheated before in the front row to keep proximity. I would also walk around the classroom to monitor every student taking their test. It is important to monitor the middle and back rows just as much as the front. This helps limit the likeliness of students from cheating if they know they are being monitored. Inform students if they are caught cheating, they will receive a zero as a grade for academic dishonesty.

If you have caught some students cheating have them take the test at lunch or some time where it is just them and they can't cheat off anyone. Then if you do caught cheating tell them they will get a zero and a suspension.   Posted on: October 8, 2023 8:43 pm eDezaN Reps: 100 Having up the cardboard privacy walls helps with cheating and I agree with having to walk around and monitor them at the same time. Keep a close eye on the ones you know do it the most.   Posted on: October 8, 2023 9:58 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted October 8, 2023 10:22 pm Zygepy Reps: 101 I'd say changing up the seating chart would allow students to not sit next to someone they have previously. Make it random and in rows. It would help to have dividers out or you could have randomized answers/questions on the test, I find that this deters them for a while and rows allow you to walk through them and make sure students are trying genuinely on their test.

I would create at least 3 or 4 versions of the test and hand them out in a manner that students won't have the same test as those around. I would walk around too, stand directly in front of the first row, and then stand in the back of the classroom too. For the students you have caught cheating before I would sit them closest to you and if it continues, especially with the same people, I would give them a zero and call their parents.

Also maybe spreading the desires apart in a way that it would be very difficult for students ti cheat.
