Case: Unethical Assessment Behavior
Mr. Womack teaches at on-level U.S. History course to juniors. After giving an assessment on the Progressive Era, where he saw substantial student growth, a student stayed after class to tell him that their was a lot of cheating going on during the exam. Mr. Womack was very upset about this going on because he felt that he watching the students very closely. He wants to punish the class with a harder assessment since the cheating occurred. He has though about giving a free response test, but realizes he lack of time to make the new assessment and grade each written response. He is not sure where he should go from here.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should consider changing the seating arrangements in his class. Also, he should take into consideration the students who did NOT cheat on the exam. They should not be punished with a harder exam because their classmates decided to cheat. For the next assessment, the teacher could give essay type questions. This would help with the cheating situation because it would be obvious if the student copied his or her peer's response. |

| Comments: I agree with this solution, rearranging the seat assignments will help initially and then harsh punishments to those who cheat will help long term. |

| Comments: Agreed. Changing the seating arrangement is a good idea. He also need to pay extra attention to the ones who are likely to cheat and walk around the room. Giving essay type question is also a good way to find out whether someone is a cheater or not. |
