What to do if you suspect unsanctioned use of Generative AI
Beforehand (“An ounce of prevention…”)
Develop a Generative AI use policy for your course syllabus and/or assignments
Collect periodic writing samples from students to familiarize yourself with their writing style and voice
Require students to provide links to all sources, and randomly spot-check those links
(Some Generative AI platforms can now provide real, legitimate links to so-called 'sources'; however, those links often do not match the generated 'source').
Tell the student why you believe they may have used Generative AI in a way they were not supposed to
Do you see phrasing in their writing that clearly indicates a Generative AI platform wrote it?
“I’m sorry but as a Large Language Model, I can’t….”
“Certainly! I’m happy to write that essay for you!”
Is their writing style or vocabulary unexpectedly different than you’ve ever seen it?
Does their writing not address the question or prompt in a way you’d expect?
Engage the student in a conversation about their work
Are they able to engage and converse with you about their work or do they have trouble recalling key aspects?
Ask the student to discuss both their thought and writing processes. Are they able to do this?
Can they define terms/words that you believe may have been provided by Generative AI?
Assuming that use of words like “delve,” “tapestry,” “landscape” etc automatically means the student used a Generative AI tool. Rather, compare the writing style with various student writing samples.
