Surely Teachers Can't Do This

[CJW93]

I done one of those 30 minute science exams that count towards our final grade just before we broke up for easter. When we returned the my science teacher was looking through our exams, and was calling us out of different lessons to add some parts to our answer and telling us what to write and adding it on. Surely after the exam, you as a student are not aloud to alter your answers in anyway.

Crazy guy

obviously not but who's complaining?

[Chaos]

yeh if ur gonna get good marks dont complain lool

[CJW93]

obviously not but who's complaining?

The people in my class that didn't get to change their answers, that are complaining to the board

If he had the exam papers after the exam then it wasn't a real exam as in a real exam the papers are sealed and sent off to the examination board pretty much as soon as the exam is over. If not, there will probably be an investigation by the exam board as to why they were not.

[rocksteaddy]

if its like a school exam and not like a huge exam for general certs, then its pretty common if you ask me. teachers usually try to help their students as much as possible.

[N!ck]

If you're sure it counts towards your final grade then yes it is illegal and the teacher will be sacked.

A real exam should have been done with ionvigilators in the room and they will have collected them at the end and sealed away. Nobody should have access to them. So either your invigilators are also up for a sacking or the teacher has been extremely sneaky.

If its getting you a higher grade why complain lol :P


he sounds ace

[CHA!NGANG]

Not really. You do science modules, that count for say 10% and for them you do them in class, and they don't get sent off. Also there are no invigilators there. So it could have been done in theory.

Are you sure it's not coursework?

Your whole post was completely incorrect.

No he's not allowed to do it.

No it's not... I did these modules last year so I know that it's true. There called External assessments and you take them in class, and your teacher marks them. Then if needed, a random sample are sent off to the exam board just like coursework.

[Titch]

This will be your issala exams which you are aloud to edit after.

No, you do them in a moderated hall, with several invidulators and they DO get sent off. Also it is 12.5% per exam.

[Catchy]

If it was one of those module things you do over the whole 2 years then the teacher shouldn't even have access to them papers? :S:S:S:S:S:S:Ss

I think he should know since he is talking from his own expereince....:S:S

Anyway here we did do quite a lot of interneal exams which counted towards your grade done in the class marked by the teacher then the results sent off the teachers kept these papers as evidence if it's needed, it also counted for 25% of your exam grade the rest made up by the end of year exam which is done in a moderated hall and sent off as soon as it's done, mite be different up here though so yeah.

And quite a few of my teachers let you change a little bit of your answer if you got some of it correct, but like not change your whole paper :P

No... Somepeople do them in a class with a teacher and no inviduators. I don't know why your arguing, its a fact because I did them myself :rolleyes:

Key word in bold.

I'm saying what WE did, and i'm shocked if there are no invigilators?

If it was to a course like GCSE, A levels or whatever, which I presume most people do over in the UK unless you take alternative pathways i.e. Btec, IB etc. then yes they are sealed and yes they are sent off. The only things that the teacher can help you (even though the exam board doesn't like it) is coursework, and maybe oral exams if the teacher is extra nice.

If this was a internal exam which counted, I think the teacher was wrong, as clearly he doesn't know life- you can't cheat your away through (or rarely) when it comes to the real world. Plus, it isn't fair as you said on anyone. If that was the situation and I was one of those students who didn't get that help, then sure as hell I would report the teacher to the principle and exam board and make sure he learns a good old lesson. Obviously he's doing what's best and you should feel happy, but you also need to learn another lesson is think about yourself, if this is indeed going to the final grade- take the chance and run with it.

As for the subject of if it was any old 'test' just to check your knowledge of a certain chapter etc. then I would count the teacher as having a number of mental problems. Get your mark, go through what you did it class.

Anyway these are the various paths and reactions you could have from both perspectives.

Cheers.

They must be clones. He said he taught in London and was head of science. Pfft I cracked up when he told us that

[PaperFruits]

You wont be blamed for. Take the blame on your teacher but if there is no problem keep them for the time being.

[luce]

they're marked externally and even the teachers don't get to see your script again unless it's an IAA which is 45 minuets and then it's not allowed :D!
