4.28.1.4.3.1 - 1. Select the tightest time frame possible for students to complete each exam. Most professors have suggested to me, depending on the nature of the questions and the difficulty of the subject material, 40 questions in 40 minutes. I disagree. I sugges... [Seite 327]
4.28.1.4.3.2 - 2. Select the option "show one question at a time to the student." This will discourage students from conducting a "copy and paste" into a document and then printing out the entire exam. Copying and pasting one question at a time will be very... [Seite 327]
4.28.1.4.3.3 - 3. Select "no backtracking" on the part of the student. Once a student has selected an answer, do not allow him or her go back and see the prior questions. [Seite 328]
4.28.1.4.3.4 - 4. Select "randomizing" the exam from a pool of questions. [Seite 328]
4.28.1.4.3.5 - 5. Select allow the exam to be taken for an entire week. This reduces the time pressure to cheat. [Seite 328]
4.28.1.4.3.6 - 6. Create a large number of exams to be taken during the semester- for example, 10 exams. Yes, perhaps a student will persuade a sibling or friend to take an exam and cheat for him or her once. But, will the sibling or friend agree to take 10 exams? [Seite 328]
4.28.1.4.3.7 - 7. Set a low point value for each exam [Seite 328]
4.28.1.4.3.8 - 8. Finally, select "allow multiple attempts" by students to take the exam. Students are allowed to take each exam as many times as they wish during an entire week, but each time they retake the exam, a new set of randomized questions appear. An a... [Seite 328]
