  Case: Parents Who Complete Student Projects
A particular project is given at the beginning of the nine weeks. Students are to complete it at home and bring it in on or before the due date. A rubric and directions for the project have been given. You allow the students time to work on the project during class or particular days. When the project is due, the student brings in an elaborate project and it is obvious that the student has not done the project. When you ask the student questions during their presentation, they cannot answer them. How do you prevent these situations from reoccuring?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are many good solutions here. In class projects are probably the only way to ensure the student is doing his or her own work fully. if a student cannot answer questions on his or her project, then he or she didn't learn anything about it. This should result in either the student needing to redo the project, or failing it. It might not seem fair to allow a student to redo the project, but it is more important that the student learn the material. If they redo it, give them a different grade scale. Maybe if they have to redo the project, they don't get full credit, but can still ear a passing grade. Contact with the parents is also a good idea. The parents may think they are helping their student, but show them the notes from the student's presentation and let them realize that their student didn't actually learn. This might help reduce parents taking over their child's projects.
