My Philosophy
• Trust but verify (Doveryai no proveryai)
• If you’re thinking about it, I’ve tried it…. Twice.
• Students cheat because they can.
Being Vigilant“I have a lot of teachers who say ‘Put your cell phones in your backpacks,’ but then just sit at their desks when we take the tests,” she says. “And they never look up. It’s just really easy to cheat in those classes. You just keep your cell phone in your laptop under your desk and look down.”

– Student: My test uploaded before I was done– What really happened: Student uploaded test, realized
he got 2 questions wrong, and wanted to retake test
Best Practices

• Cycle questions – don’t reuse periodically• Plan your room layout• Allow a cheat sheet
Best Practices
