Case: Cheating
Last week, I was giving a unit test. The day before the test, a male student of mine who sits in the back of the classroom wrote some answers on his desk. I found the written test answers at the end of the school day. I know it was this student because he is in my last class of the day in that seat and I know for sure it is his handwriting. While the student intended to cheat, he never was able to cheat on the test since I wiped off his desk. How would you handle this situation? Should intention to cheat be treated the same as actual cheating? Seems like a technicality but I would like some good professional opinions on how others would deal with this matter.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would hold a class discussion about cheating and let the students know that if anyone is caught cheating under any circumstance they will receive a zero. This will only take a few minutes, and if the problem should ever arise, you can explain that you told them the rules and now they have to be accountable for their actions. |

Comments: I think that would just point out the student who tried and make his embarrassed. I think talking in private is the better solution |
