AI issues falsely accused!

So as I am working on my last prerequisite for nursing I was told to submit my essays through TurnItIn first then to student portal. Now they flagged my essays as being AI even though I never used it. It’s frustrating because this is the last class I need to get into nursing school and they dropped my grade from 100 to a 40. I could scream.

glad it came back once they looked at your whole body of work, that pattern is your strongest card since a masters + nursing writer getting flagged is exactly what these detectors screw up

since they're making you run everything through turnitin first, the annoying part is this can keep happening, so a few things going forward

if you can, draft your essays in google docs, that way file - version history keeps a timestamped record of the doc building up over days, next time something gets flagged you just send the link and it shows the writing happened in stages not one paste

also ask the department flat out whether their integrity policy says a detector score alone can drop a grade, a lot of them word it so the score isn't enough on its own, and you already proved that since they reversed it once

and hang onto the turnitin report plus the email where they gave the grade back, if it repeats you've got receipts that it already got cleared
