Dissuading Cheating

November 08, 2007

Jana Dabney, an administrator at Chickasha Middle School in Chickasha, Oklahoma

To dissuade cheating on tests, I handwrite them so they are longer than one page. I copy the pages on different colored paper and hand them out in staggered order. Other times, I run the same test on 3 or 4 sheets of colored paper and mix up the order of the pages. The kids never realize they have the same test.
