I actually happened to mention this today in my developmental psychology course before they took an exam, and of course, I used a joking tone. It was interesting that one student had heard of these watches so I'm not sure how gimmicky they really are. It certainly made me think twice about things, especially the Bluetooth earpiece.

Amazing how blatent the ads are. Students should have stronger orientation sessions about dishonesty/ethics/plagiarism, etc. I guess. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marie Helweg-Larsen" <helw...@dickinson.edu> To: "Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS)" <tips@fsulist.frostburg.edu> Sent: Friday, March 25, 2016 2:06:23 PM Subject: RE:[tips] Cheating watches In any supervised testing situation it seems unlikely it would work for student to be searching for the right file/text and then reading the information (by staring at the watch). Also, lots of standard testing settings (e.g., the GRE) prohibit such devices. At best a gimmick, it seems.

I haven't seen a post in a while. Anyway, yesterday I learned about the existence of smart watches (available through Amazon!) that appear to be specifically designed to help students cheat during examinations. Here is the webpage for one of the companies that makes these watches, http://www.24kupi.com/. The videos are quite informative. Enjoy.
