How Would You Handle Students Cheating? - Lemmy

I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my office to solve the problem on the board. What would you do?

If the curriculum format teaches students to be test takers, I’d give them extra points for working smarter.

If my job gave me work while on my vacation, I’d be talking to the labor board if they didn’t pay me at my consultation rates.
