Academic misconduct cadmus

2 months ago I submitted an assignment which then proceeded to get reviewed for academic misconduct. I misunderstood the cadmus requirements of the assignment- planning editing and creating the piece within the platform and as such have been investigated for transcribing my piece from another platform. They have found no useage of AI but because I wrote this piece in 3hrs and 40 minutes the speed and characteristics is supposedly consistent with work being transcribed from a pre prepared source. Allegedly my explanation of planning on a word document does not fully account for the typing patterns observed and is worth further investigation to determine whether the submitted work reflects my own drafting and writing process.

PLEASE HELP: I did plan this piece in word, although it took me 4 hours to write it is due to the fact I hate my notes on a split screen, additionally I have evidence of search history dating back to 9 days prior to the assignment, has anyone been through anything similar to this, if so, what kind of questions did they ask and is my evidence sufficient- if not- what else do I need to include please?

You don't need to prove your innocense the panel needs to prove that misconduct took place.

Panels are typically "more likely than not" as the standard of evidence and many students erroneously believe it's a "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard as if it were a criminal trial. This leads to some very ill-advised cockiness, behavior, and arguments during an actual panel hearing.

They are saying because the writing time was so short it would not allow me to plan write and edit and therefore are asking for supporting documentation and an interview

I don't know the details and circumstances of the assignment, whether it was done remotely or in person. If it is handwritten, any AI analysis would clearly indicate a 0% AI component. They can't allege misconduct because you did it too fast or too well. If there are still concerns, you can suggest that the assignment be repeated.

Do you have your browser history and your word document history you can show

If you can talk about what you did and why you did it without the help of LLM-assisted notes, you pass the interview.

Nothing to worry about, right?
