Question

Mr. Gates, who teaches World Geography, frequently gives out a test and then leaves the room to pick up his mail in the office or to get coffee. What does research predict Mr. Gates' students are likely to do while he is out of the room?

Answer 1

The students would most likely share ideas among themselves. They may be involved in other forms of cheating such as; sharing of answers among themselves, referring to their class notes, checking their text books.

What causes this action is lack of supervision, which triggers the negative behavior of the students.

This can easily be corrected if the teacher pays more attention to his simple duty of class management and examination supervision.
