Exam Taking
I always thought that it was important to walk around the classroom while students were taking an exam. However, this taught us that it actually causes more anxiety during the test taking process and that the instructor should stay in 1 place. This makes total sense and I will definitely try this technique with my next exam!
I'd argue that occasional movement is appropriate - if you don't move at all, you create an issue with line-of-sight that a student can use to cheat. However, pacing around like a caged lion is not the answer. I generally move from front to back to sidewall every once in a while. the back however is definitely the best place to observe, particularly if you are administering a test on computers because you can usually watch progress bars on the screens.
