3rd Infraction BSSW Program
I have now been falsely accused for the third time. On my first infraction, was a self-reflection assignment, literally talking about myself. I provided a copy of my rough draft of my work, thinking, "Oh, this proves I didn’t plagiarize or use AI," but it didn’t help my case. On my second and third infractions, the issue involved a discussion post. I have never had problems completing discussion posts, as I consider them one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts of the curriculum. They provide a great opportunity to engage with peers, especially as an online student.
Has anyone been accused of AI or plagiarism on a discussion post?
The question I have is: how is someone supposed to prove their innocence? After doing some research, I found that AI detectors are widely debated because of their inconsistencies and reliability issues. Given these concerns, it seems unreasonable to place so much emphasis on software like ZeroGPT and Turnitin when questioning a student’s integrity. It is frustrating to be accused of something you did not do, and the situation has honestly made me consider transferring schools.
