Interesting. I would have not suspected cheating. The only one that raises "suspicion" to me was answer 6. All others appear to start from roughly the same point on the left and they scratched until the star was revealed. From the image I can't see any anomalous scratches. I also agree that a "cheating" team would have done a better job at revealing the stars. Any prior concerns with the team?

Scratched off by a sharp-shooter! That said, if they were really cheating, it seems like they might take extra effort to cover their trail and be sure to always scratch them all off. Still. . . I have never seen an IF-AT like that before. -M From: Team-Based Learning [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jim Sibley Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 9:27 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Learning a bit about IF-Ats Hi We wrongly accused a student team of cheating on an IF-AT (see attached) At first glance they seem to know where the stars were....partial scratches just barely revealing stars Turns out when we compared handness (i.e. Students that scratch from -- right, left and middle -- each has an anomalous pattern of "coincidence") There still are some anomalous scratches on the attached IF-AT.....but it took away our confidence to call it cheating Jim Jim Sibley Director Centre for Instructional Support Faculty of Applied Science University of British Columbia 2208-6250 Applied Science Lane Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Phone 604.822.9241 Fax 604.822.7006 Email: [log in to unmask] Web: http://cis.apsc.ubc.ca e-Portfolio: http://ipeer.apsc.ubc.ca/wiki/index.php/Jim_Sibley_Portfolio ________________________________________________ (c) Copyright 2009, Jim Sibley, All rights reserved The information contained in this e-mail message and any attachments (collectively "message") is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient (or recipients) named above.
