7. Or create assignments

where they cannot just look up the answer. Multiple choice tests are generally bullshit anyway. I write assignments that can't just be Googled. Can't plagiarize and it's better for their critical thinking and assesses their knowledge better. If you're a shitty teacher that just gives MC tests or asks "what's the theme of Huck Finn" then, in my opinion, you give up the right to complain about kids just "phoning" it in because that's what you're doing.
