I gave my students a take home exam over spring break. (This is normal where I teach) One of the questions was particulary difficult. It came down to a factor of three in the solution. That factor inexplicably appeared with no justification on many of their exams. I intend to have the students I suspect of cheating come to my office to solve the problem on the board. What would you do?

Edit: I gave them the Tuesday before spring break until the Thursday after. I didn’t want it to be right before or right after.

When I say normal I mean giving take home exams.

    Do nothing, first of all any homework is open book, no buts

    Second of all it comes down to not being a dick

    You do realise that even if they do cheat, since its a take home you likely won’t face any negative consequence, its just a win win in general
