Anti-Cheating During Exams By Funny Home-Assignment Hats Made By Students

Being a teacher is a difficult yet important job. It takes lots of mind work and dedication to handle the students and deal with other pressures. However, educating young generations can bring many memorable souvenirs, priceless experiences, and unforgettable lessons to educators.
One of the hardest problems to solve for teachers is cheating during exams. Because students have technology up their sleeves, they can come up with numerous tactics to deceive supervisors during their tests. Among useful ways to cheat, many students choose to copy their classmates.
To prevent her students from doing so, professor Mary Joy Mandane-Ortiz, a mechanical engineering instructor at the Bicol University College of Engineering, Philippines, assigned them to design and make big hats that allowed the wearer to see only straight ahead. Those that failed to block the wearer's left and right view sights wouldn't be marked as completed. Besides, these hats could be made from cheap and easily found materials such as cardboard, egg cartons, scraps of fabric, and so on.
Here they are:

When she checked all the hats to match her requirements, she asked her students to wear them during their exams. Not only could they not copy their classmates' answer sheets, but they also didn't feel the stress and intensity while doing the tests. Those silly hats helped calm them down. Afterward, some students even got better grades. As a result, the professor was pretty happy about it.
