> Maybe I'm naive but I believe cheating can be eliminated by allowing students to have a notecard when taking tests and where they're allowed to write down formulas or whatever is necessary for them individually before the tests. I think there's different "cheating by writing down formulas / information we're supposed to have memorized" and "cheating by copying someone else's answers". In the article, he actually describes a situation where there were identical problems, but with slightly different numbers between seats. One of the students had test version A, but the correct answer from version B. This clearly falls into the latter category; reading the full story, it's really not clear that having a notecard would have helped him.
