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!)
What I would do is speak to the student. The intention was there but he couldn't go through with it, so he didn't have influence on the actual test. If he shows warning signs after the talk then speak to admin. But always give the student a chance to change and explain. And always tell them what your going to do. |

Comments: Communicating with the student is going to be best since there is no way of knowing what led to the attempted cheating. |
