  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!)
Although it is a good idea to give students a review, they should not see the exact test that is going to be presented. This does not properly measure the learning of the concept. They should be able to complete problems with different numbers to show application of skills.
