Brilio.net - In education, the value of honesty needs to be instilled and implemented in everyday life. One of them is during school exams. Cheating among students is a classic problem. For this reason, this dishonest behavior needs to receive more serious attention.
The reason is, this problem is often only a momentary concern and receives little follow-up after the exam season ends. As a result, many students view course exams as merely a way to get good academic grades.
Innovation needs to be done so that this culture of cheating can disappear. One of them is a creative method used by a lecturer which went viral recently.

Apart from creative students, there are also students who simply wear full-face helmets that are worn on their heads. To journalists, Ebora revealed the reason why she asked her students to wear anti-cheating hats.
This step is actually to reduce their exam burden. Ebora wants students to maintain their integrity in creative ways.
Ebora does not require you to wear an anti-cheating hat during exams. However, it will provide additional value for those who wear it. At first, Ebora thought her request would not get much of a response from her students.

However, he didn't expect it when he saw nearly 70 of his students come to the exam venue wearing unique anti-cheating hats. He also uploaded several portraits on his Facebook account. However, it was unexpected that this would go viral abroad.
"I didn't expect it to go viral. I posted it solely because I was proud of my students. I didn't expect them to try hard or take it seriously, but because of that, their efforts and creativity were worth it," he said as quoted by worldbuzz .com.
Seeing the extraordinary response from her students, Ebora said she was proud of them.
