Case: Changing Answers
I suspect a student is changing her answers on graded assessments after she receives them back with a grade. The first time I believed that I made an error when grading her test, but the second time the answer appeared to be changed. What is the best way to handle the situation? I thought about making a copy of her future tests before returning them so that I would have proof of her original answers.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Having students take the test electronically is a good option. However, you could also simply tell students that when you are going over the test they cannot have a pen/pencil out (so they wouldn't be able to change the answer when you say the correct answers). You could then take the tests back up and keep them on file, which is a good idea to do for parent conferences and data reasons. If you are returning the tests and want the students to keep them, you could consider making students take tests in pen and make not of things that are scratched out when you are grading. |

Comments: I like that when reviewing it means no pencils/pens out. It can stop the cheating right away and if it continues, you'll know to talk to the student about it. |

Comments: I think that requiring students to take the tests in pen would solve any sort of problem with answers being changed. Also, the idea of keeping a copy of the test on file would make it impossible for any student to change answers. |

Comments: I would not use this solution, in this situation. The solution mentions using pens when taking test. That would only solve the problem of changing answers. But, it would create a new porblem, which is how students will change answers marked in pen during the test. |

Comments: The original poster suggested making a photo copy of just her test, but that singles her out and if your suspicions are wrong? Alternate tests between electronic, pen / paper, and pen / pencil. |
