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.
