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!)
If this was my student, I would pull them aside and confront them for the answers. I would come to understand why they did it, and have them understand what bad things can come from cheating. I would definitely give him a zero, but have him understand that this situation could have been a lot worse, like a referral, permanent records, etc. Them sit down with your students and have them understand the seriousness of cheating and how it can affect and ruin their goals and dreams. Make sure they understand that you can tell when they are cheating so they don't try and pull a fast one, and that they know the consequences for this action. When I was in high school, my teacher showed us a news story of a girl who was going for her master's degree and, before the internet, she checked out every book pertaining to the topic of her big paper so that no one could use those resources, and got kicked out because they considered it cheating. She was not able to finish her degree and at the time no one would hire her because she cheated. |
