Images of students wearing so-called "anti-cheating hats" during college exams have gone viral on social media in the Philippines, sparking amusement. |
Students at one college in Legazpi City were asked to wear headgear that would prevent them peeking at others' papers. |
Many responded by creating homemade contraptions out of cardboard, egg boxes and other recycled materials. |
Their tutor told the BBC she had been looking for a "fun way" to ensure "integrity and honesty" in her classes. |
Mary Joy Mandane-Ortiz, a professor of mechanical engineering at Bicol University College of Engineering, said the idea had been "really effective". |
It was implemented for recent mid-term exams, which were sat by hundreds of students at the college in the third week of October. |
Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her initial request had been for students to make a "simple" design out of paper. |
She was inspired by a technique reportedly used in Thailand some years previously. |
In 2013, an image went viral appearing to show a room of university students in Bangkok taking test papers while wearing "ear flaps" - sheets of paper stuck to either side of their head to obscure their vision. |
Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her engineers-in-training took the idea and ran with it - in some cases innovating complex headgear in "just five minutes" with any junk they found lying around. |
Others donned hats, helmets or Halloween masks to fulfil the brief. |
A string of the professor's Facebook posts - showing the youngsters wearing their elaborate creations - garnered thousands of likes in a matter of days, and attracted coverage from Filipino media outlets. |
They also reportedly inspired schools and universities in other parts of the country to encourage their own students to put together anti-cheating headwear. |
Prof Mandane-Ortiz said her tutees performed better this year, having been motivated by the strict examination conditions to study extra hard. |
Many of them finished their tests early, she added - and nobody was caught cheating this year. |
