Check work for plagiarism and signs of AI use

Universities check work for plagiarism and for signs of AI use as a reason for a conversation

Needs setupStrictly regulatedChecking & moderating contentSchools & universities

Fits: Teaching & education

Passages taken over without a source stand out, and signs of undeclared AI use become a reason for a conversation about the work, not a verdict. Teaching staff check more selectively, and students are treated fairly.

Is this for you?

  • You supervise many essays, seminar papers or theses.
  • There are examination regulations and a rule on which AI use is allowed and how it must be declared, or you want to create one.
  • The university or department is prepared to introduce an approved tool with clear rules, oversight and information for students.
First step today

Without any students’ work at all: invent a short check report with six matches and have it classified against your citation and AI rules with the template below. Check whether the AI sticks to the findings for every match and does not pass judgement on cheating or the person.

How to go about it

  1. Set clear rules on citation and AI use
  2. Collect work with a declaration via the learning platform
  3. Set up the checking tool as a high-risk system
  4. Have examiners read every hit themselves
  5. Hold the conversation and give reasons for the decision
  6. Check false alarms and fairness every semester
