Rick, I don't require students to write the question, just the number when they appeal. But, all appeals must be submitted via e-mail. Also, no appeals are accepted until after class is over so that students are not, hopefully, working on their appeals until after class is over. Students have 48 hours to submit their appeals and no appeals are answered until after the time limited has expired.

My questions are on paper, as opposed to some form of electronic display. If only one team is appealing, I don't want to use class time for this one appeal, but would like to give the team until the start of the next class to hand in the appeal on a form I've created. A student copying a long question can be tedious, and I don't want to give them ideas about copying questions anyway. I won't let them take a copy of the questions outside of the classroom. Usually one student remains after class to complete the appeal, but I would like it to be more of a team effort. Any advice on keeping the questions secure within my appeals process, or recommendations for a better process?
