One of my students would, on exams, write her math solutions at about a 30 degree angle sloping up from left to right. Have no idea why. She was in two of my classes. Second class, the guy next to her obviously copied......including the slant.In class, one day, Mr. Johnson pulled Johnny over to his desk after a test, and said,
"Johnny, I have a feeling that you have been cheating on your tests."
Johnny was astounded and asked Mr. Johnson to prove it.
"Well, said Mr. Johnson, I was looking over your test and the question was,
'Who was our first president?', and the little girl that sits next to you, Mary, put 'George Washington,' and so did you."
"So, everyone knows that he was the first president."
"Well, just wait a minute," said Mr. Johnson.
"The next question was, 'Who freed the slaves?'
Mary put Abraham Lincoln and so did you."
"Well, I read the history book last night and I remembered that," said Johnny.
"Wait, wait," said Mr. Johnson.
"The next question was, 'Who was president during the Louisiana Purchase?'
Mary put 'I don't know,' and you put, 'Me neither'.
I used to know a girl who showed me how she cheated on her exams in university. She painstakingly wrote formulae on the back of a wooden ruler with a needle in the tiniest size possible then rubbed cigarette ash over it. Monitors walking by couldn't see anything but she could from a few inches away: they would only see a dirty old ruler.One of my students would, on exams, write her math solutions at about a 30 degree angle sloping up from left to right.
