- cdancette 9y agoJust don't allow calculators. Or design your exams such as you can't cheat with a calculator You'll just have more work to do to create exam that test the logic and reflexion without big calculations. I think it would lead to even more interesting subjects. In France, we do two years of math / physics preparation before entering in engineering school, and we're never allowed calculators in maths. And french engineers are considered to be very good at maths
- al2o3cr 9y agoAdditionally, students using them often don't need to learn how to perform various calculations and can instead just plug in the various values and have the answer come out. If they get full credit for doing that, it's a test-scoring problem not a calculator one.
