Remember that if you fail anyone, you have to do this all over again.

I took an exam today, state test you proctoring there? I took the writing one and damn it was easy, i had to go back to a public school (i’m homeschooled) to take it and finished in the first half hour out of the 2 hours test time

No joke. Aside from the fact that I like these kids, I don’t want to spend any of my summer remediating anyone.

Well done!

I’m doing an exam on digestive system physiology for our dental hygiene professional program. After this I give an hour lecture on metabolism.

Make a game with your fellow proctors of going and standing next to the student you think is most likely to fail

start a tally of how many times you see someone sit up, lean over, tap a pencil, click a pen, cough, get a tissue, etc and see if there’s any correlation to the average grade and the exam’s ‘perceived difficulty’

i’m 100% nerd, but i’d find it fascinating to see if these relate.

That either means you did really well or really bad.

What class? Are you planning on sending an email like this afterwards?

Kinja'd!!!

This is an actual email I got during my time at Tech.

Alas, I’m alone today. Last time I did get help watching over someone who was reported to me as cheating. He went and sat next to her for the entire exam.

Did you ever cheat on an exam?

Chariotoflove > benjrblant
04/10/2019 at 11:33

That’s a good idea. I’d need to keep a spread sheet.

I did have one once who would have animated conversations with herself about the questions throughout the test. She may or may not have had multiple personality disorder, but she was a good kid and good student. Kept me entertained.

But I think standing isn’t really his thing. Though your comment made me laugh. Repeatedly.

Ack. I’m not into shaming. I contact students who are in danger personally and try to see if I can help them before it’s too late.

This is Biomedical Sciences II for the dental hygiene program.

nah, writing essays is something i’ve always done fast and gotten perfect scores on because (unlike here) i use my brain and proper words and transitions and tie-ins and grammar and punctuation and all that shit

I took freshman chemistry at the community college 30 years ago and the professor, Dr. Neal Coley “Coolie,” was a d**k and would put us in the lab to take the exams and leave us there. One day, there was a Russian woman in the class and during the test, bold as brass, she pulled out a piece of paper to cheat on the test. I was in disbelief and people around me were aware of it too, as we were somewhat tightly knit by our shared adversity. Anyhow, for no apparent reason, and though he never did this, Dr. Coley came out and sat on his stool at the front of the class, six feet from this Russian woman, for the entire 2-1/2 hours. A sixth sense, I suppose. I doubt she passed.

Alas, no. But I did help a cute girl cheat in high school. I was weak.

Summers, for an educator, are for remediating himself.

Well, it was more of you’re all dumb as opposed to individual shaming. I actually got well above the average on that test, somehow.

No idea what that class entitles.

Well, let’s hope you are correct, and your writing here isn’t indicative of how you actually write.

If you actually caught her. Coley’s game was longer and zero drama.

Ew. You’ve told me before, but will you tell me again your research interest?

I cheated in HS biology and still failed the class. I’m no scientist. I caught a friend cheating on a music history exam in college. I spoke to him a couple days later, and said that I saw him cheating. I told him that it put me in a bad position, because by the honor code I was bound to turn him in. I told him I wouldn't, but I offered to help him study or in any other way I could. As far as I know, he never cheated again.

I had a couple students come to me and tell me about two students who were collaborating to cheat. They were pissed because they work hard to get their grades. While that kind of competitive environment exists in professional school, there is also the camaraderie effect that others reluctant to rat out their friends. It’s a complex web.

Cheating and still failing is a clear sign from the cosmos to take your life in a different direction.

I had a test like that... I was not above average... Fields, Matter, and Waves was a tough class. I don’t think the professor was great but in general he wasn’t horrible. He was however terrible at preparing students for what he was going to be testing them on.
