"To prevent cheating, offer skill-based assessments over multiple-choice assessments. Protip: Google Slides will not run plagiarism reports, but Google Docs will!"

Craft assessments so that you can see and analyze a student's thought process. The more complex the task, the harder it is to cheat (see image above). Michelle DiGiovanni (VHS Math Department) has been using platforms like Flipgrid as a supplement to her assessments. Students may be required to submit a Flipgrid video for select questions on a summative assessment where they explain their work and/or justify their answer.
