Cheating Survey is a Grade 9 professional development worksheet that uses 25 multiple-choice, yes-or-no scenarios to help students identify academic cheating in realistic school situations. The items address homework copying, group-work participation, prohibited calculator use, changing answers after viewing a peer’s test, sharing test answers, obtaining information from an earlier test period, using unauthorized notes, and having someone else complete an assignment. This free printable worksheet gives students a structured way to examine how academic dishonesty can occur through both actions and assistance to others. Teachers can use the scenarios to prompt discussion about responsible choices, assessment rules, and the difference between completing one’s own work and using another student’s answers or unauthorized help. The worksheet includes a complete answer key for reviewing responses and supporting follow-up conversations.

FAQs

What does the Cheating Survey worksheet cover?

The Cheating Survey covers how to identify academic cheating across 25 multiple-choice, yes-or-no scenarios involving homework, group work, tests, unauthorized aids, and sharing answers. Students evaluate specific choices—such as copying incomplete homework, using a calculator when it is prohibited, looking at another student’s test, or allowing someone else to complete an assignment—to build ethical decision-making and academic-integrity awareness.

How can I use this worksheet to teach students about academic cheating?

Introduce the Cheating Survey by distinguishing independent work, permitted collaboration, and unauthorized assistance, then have students answer the scenarios individually. Afterward, discuss contrasting items, such as copying homework versus helping a friend, or viewing a test answer versus reworking a difficult problem, and ask students to explain what rule or responsibility each situation raises.

What mistakes should I watch for when students complete the Cheating Survey?

Students may focus only on who benefits and overlook the action of providing answers, as in the homework-copying and test-answer scenarios. They may also miss the importance of stated assessment rules when considering calculator use or written information, or treat checking another student’s test as acceptable because they look at only one question. Review the reasoning behind responses rather than accepting an unexplained yes-or-no choice.

How do I assign and grade the Cheating Survey worksheet?

The Cheating Survey is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for checking all 25 multiple-choice responses. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade the completed survey.

How can I differentiate the Cheating Survey worksheet for my students?

In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the yes-or-no scenarios easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language, while keeping the multiple-choice academic-integrity situations unchanged.
