Every teacher is asking the same quiet question this year: "Did they actually write this?" ๐ค
Three quick signs a student leaned on AI:
โข Flawless grammar with zero personality
โข Words they've never used in class
โข Confident, generic answers with no real example
The honest test isn't a detector (those are unreliable and flag innocent kids) โ it's simply asking the student to explain their work out loud.
But here's the better move: don't build a better trap, make cheating pointless. Grade the process, not just the product โ ask for drafts, sources, and a 2-minute "defend your work." Let them use AI openly, then show what they understood.
We won't out-police AI. We can out-teach it. ๐
Save this for your next assignment, and share it with a teacher who's stressing about this.
Follow for AI in the classroom, done right.
