For my students, phones are not allowed for any test taking, not even under the clause of "I need to use the calculator on my phone". No, they know they need to bring a cheap calculator to class, one with very little memory. If they don't have one, I loan one I've purchased from the Dollar Store. Should they miss class on a test day, I permit a make up, but it will be more difficult, and taken at the testing service on campus. AND, still, no phone or computers are allowed at the testing center. And believe it or not, one of my students "snuck" a phone in there, and tried to use it. Little to his knowledge, each test room has four cameras. When the supervisors show him look at his phone, they stopped him immediately and forwarded his "very incomplete test" to me, with the note he cheated. Well, he earned his 0% test grade, but he knew the risk he was taking.

It was a useless test, unless he took their phones away before sending them to their rooms. Professor was still stuck in 70's.

But what if they had rehearsed their answers to those questions before telling their original story? They should have in order to make their excuse seem plausible.

It is a shame that we have to be the violent, but it us unfair to others of we passively permit cheating.

Back in the mid 70's I was in nursing school and our class had one student who would call in sick on the day of tests. the following day she would pump any and all of us on how was the test and a couple of the good hearted students would tell her many of the answers. She then would take the test and of course pass with flying colors. Some of us caught on to her scheme and complained to our instructor. So the next scheduled test and of course she was absent. However the instructor told us that the test was one question, and if anyone told the question or the answer we would all fail. The question was " What is an opterectomy? The answer is: the removal of the optic nerve from the rectum so the patient didn't have such a (pardon the french) shitty outlook on life. The quiz was worth 75% of the final grade which is why none of us told that person anything. Needless to say she flunked the test and dropped out with some counseling our instructor about cheating didn't make you a good nurse.
