Altered
Exam Policy
When a student comes to me with a
grading
error
on an exam, I always wonder if I made a mistake or if the student
altered
the exam after I graded it. Both possibilities are not very
comfortable;
I don't want to think I made a mistake, and I don't want to think a
student
altered the exam.
I have a solution to this problem. I copy a sample of graded
exams
before I return them to students. If a student brings an exam to
me
and it is one of the exams I copied and the exam has been altered, the
student
receives an F in the course
and will
be reported to academic affairs.
Think about your odds of getting caught before you alter an exam.
I
won't tell you how many exams I copy, but assume I copy 10% (that's
only
3-5 exams in the average class), you have a 1 in 10 chance of failing
the
course because you are trying to raise your exam grade few percent.
The
potential bad outcome significantly outweighs the potential good
outcome.
