Abstract	The purpose of this study is to reduce ethics violations such as tricking and cheating that may occur in the offline assessment of undergraduate level Physics-II (Electricity) course subjects. The study is significant for the reliable and ethical evaluation of the Internet and computer-based educational process. Thirty-eight pre-service teachers participated in the study by using the Internet and computer. The offline assessment exam consisted of 18 conceptual and operational (problems) questions concerning the subjects covered in the Physics-II course, and the exam duration was 60 minutes. Ethics violations in the exam were determined by analyzing the exam results based on five criteria: time passed in the exam, the number of right and wrong answers, the distribution of right and wrong answers, the distribution of unanswered questions, offline exam mark, and in-class academic success score. Based on these criteria, 23 pre-service teachers were seen to have violated ethics, while 15 pre-service teachers did not engage in such violations. This can be used as a criterion for maintaining the reliability and ethicality of offline Physics-II exams conducted over the Internet. Besides the application of such criteria, question pools containing a great number of questions and various exams with high reliability that are made up of these questions may be created, and the constraints of the Internet and computer-based exams may be decreased, thereby rendering them more reliable.
