Are you honest if you are given marks you dont deserve (1 Viewer)

[axlenatore]

If you are given marks you dont deserve in exams, such as incorrect adding up giving you extra marks or something incorrect has been marked correctly, have you/would you honestly tell the teacher and get the mistake corrected?

PS how do i make a poll to see the general view

i havent been in this situation in year 12..but in the past years, when i found that i was given a higher mark than i was meant to, i told the teacher and they fixed it up . . .
i guess a lot of people in this situation would have just taken the mark and been silently happy, but im a bit of a worry-er and i wouldnt have been able to deal with not telling them

Ah~~

This is the most difficult question that I have ever encountered...

I don't know. It really depends on the circumstance.

 

[aussie-boy]

no lol
you deserve whatever the teacher gives you... they're the marker and its up to them to get it right

 

[what a dilemma!]

I take it to the teacher and they fix it. I don't think I could keep marks I didn't deserve.

The situation came up in my hsc trial for chemistry, i was given two extra marks in the multiple choice which i didnt deserve, my friend who i sat next to told me to keep the marks as i was four in the form but it didnt feel right so i owned up and scabed those two marks from elsewhere...somehow:rofl:

Yes its happened several times and I've told the teacher and got the marks docked. I see why people keep them but I couldn't do it.

If I deserved to lose mark where the marking was definitely wrongly done, I would go to a teacher and get my marks off but if it was in the short answer question or in the long response question where the marking system is disputable, I wouldn't even bother going and get my marks changed.

I feel exactly the same, but im the only person i know who is honest at my school, everyone else just keeps the marks, someone said "its the teachers fault therefore i deserve the marks anyway"

always have but im afraid i did take an extra mark in an assessment recently

Yeah, tbh I don't think many people (myself included) would tell the teacher if they were given a couple of extra marks they weren't supposed to get.

 

[SiN3m]

it's different coz it's hsc and every mark counts! if it was like yr10 i MAY have told the teacher but now nah...greedy

Yeah, true.

There was one question in my maths question where I thought that I could lose one mark in but I didn't tell the teacher about it because I knew that the question was disputable - highly. And I didn't want to risk it. I just thought - my answer is more correct than it is wrong so I will just pass this time .

But there were times when I knew that the I definitely got the question wrong so I fixed my marks.

 

[risole91]

As if i would tell them.

 

[undalay]

As a math teacher once said.
"why the bloodyhell would u mention that"

 

[4unitfreak]

I'd like to think I'd be honest, but in most of my tests these days I need whatever marks I can get. When I was in junior school I used to tell the teachers, but now I'm in the HSC... not so sure.

 

[me121]

lol, i told the teacher once and showed it too him (he gave me an extra 2 marks or something that i shouldn't have) and he said to me.. well your lucky then. and he never took the marks off.
