Yesterday, one of our English teachers came in upset because she had discovered
her students where cheating on their essay test by going to www.sparknotes.com .
What happened was that she had the test as a word document in the Moodle site. She
had it blocked so that it would only show up during class. The students could then
see the test and respond back to her in the class. However, she found out that
many of the students were able to bring up Sparknotes and copy and paste. They
only had one class period in which to do this so it had to be something really
quick. She gave me the papers and I went through them. Many of the papers have
very similiar answers. I then went to www.sparknotes.com and looked at the site.
Does anyone know how I can see where the students were able to find the information
so easily for them to copy and paste the answers? I would appreciate any help you
can give me. Brenda Lemon
