  Case: Inappropriate Study Guide
A fifth grade teacher was about to give a unit math assessment. He simply took the actual test and removed the multiple choice answers and gave it to his students to use as a study guide. The next day he gave the same assessment with the multiple choice answers included to the students to complete as their graded unit assessment. Do you believe this is an ethical practice?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While not a great way to teach i dont see any ethical resons that they should not do this. He gave this out as a study guide and the studnets had to find the answers those question and then had to recall what these answers find in the test. It does have the studnets learn and makes them ready for the test which is the point of a study guide. While ethical its not great becuase it makes less incentive for the studnet to read and do other work when they just need to do the study guie for the test to pass.

Comments: The only "studying" done by the students aren't the actual concepts of the material it is the memorization of what each answer.

Comments: I agree with this solution because it states that while providing the same test as a study guide is bad teaching, its not necessarily unethical.
The teacher is not providing students with the best ways to test their knowledge. In fact, its more an issue of laziness on the teachers hand.

Comments: Although I understand your point, I don't think this suggestion is helpful. It doesn't really help the students learn better, It's more like a cheat sheet.
