Yes. When I was an educator, reviewing version history was an obvious way to clarify if/how much students plagiarized.




honest q: what would it look like from your perspective if someone worked in entirely different tools and then only moved their finished work to google docs at the end?

In this case, the school was providing chromebooks so Google Docs were the default option. Using a different computer isn’t inherently a negative signal - but if we are already talking about plagiarism concerns, I’m going to start asking questions that are likely to reveal your understanding of the content. If your understanding falters, I’m going to ask you to prove your abilities in a different way/medium/etc.

In general, I don’t really understand educators hyperventilating about LLM use. If you can’t tell what your students are independently capable of and are merely asking them to spit back content at you, you’re not doing a good job.


Shouldn't do that. Can make it clear at syllabus time that this will result in the paper being considered as AI-assisted
