So I have students using cell phones to take pictures of their exams. It's a big learning curve for me. My students in America would never have that much energy to cheat.
On the first midterm I gave each section the same questions but mixed them up. I had four different versions of the test scrambled. The students said it would be unfair to give different questions to the different sections: "What if we get a harder test than another section?"
Last week I told the classes that they would have to take a new midterm. They were not happy. "It's not fair! I did not cheat. Why should I have to take the new midterm?" Good point I responded, "It's also not fair that I have write seven brand new midterms from scratch." (One midterm for each section of the class and a different for the make-up.)
I also let them know that each class would have a completely different midterm. I simply can't risk anything like this happening again.
It's Friday night. I'm at home. Why? I'm writing seven tests from scratch. I hope you have more fun tonight than me!
