Turnitin AI
hey guys I’m a newly finished ap researcher and I’m really paranoid about my paper. Last year for AP Seminar I got my paper flagged for fabrication and falsification of information and it potentially not being my own original work. I never ended up replying to the email out of anxiety and others telling me it wasn’t worth it to appeal even if I was innocent, so I ended up taking the L and getting a 3.
This year, I’ve worked really hard to make sure my paper stays on the straight and narrow, and my teacher required us to submit drafts throughout the school year for ai checks and plagiarism checks, and all came out with a * symbol on turnitin, indicating that I had 20% or less AI found in my paper. However I am still chronically anxious about anything getting flagged, and obsessively ran it through every single checker I could find.
All my results varied, but usually I tended to get pretty OK scores. I’m still so paranoid though, because this is the last AP class I need to pass in order to get a really important scholarship in my state, and accepting a 0 for my paper isn’t an option like it was for AP Seminar (paper is 75% of my grade)
Is there anybody out here (students or admin) that could possibly give my paper a look and let me know their thoughts about possible AI flagging? I have a rather distinct writing style (use of transition words) and my paper isn’t exactly the best academically. I’ve gone through a lot this year with family passing, but I did try my best to keep up in this course. I’m really hoping to get by at least with a 3 (smart redditors please don’t shame me) and get my scholarship.
