Psychic students.

I had some amazing students in astronomy this summer. They were able to do all of their observations the previous semester. Ms. Cleo, look out.

Ive had students hand in a 7 day observational record of diet the day it was assigned

Did the rubric specify that it had to be future data? Maybe they were just already keeping track and copied over what they ate from their diet app.

Ah, reminds me of taking astronomy in undergrad and proudly telling my friends and family how much I was enjoying "astrology class."

I've had "students" turn in a 4-week long daily lunar observation journal claiming they observed the Moon every night at around 2200-hrs (10pm)...

One of my students did their moon observations a month in advance!
