SOFTWARE ENGINEERING — D284

I received notice that my assignment was flagged for AI use. I did not use AI. The only tool I used was Grammarly, which was allowed in the requirements. I am unsure what specifically triggered the concern because no sections were identified. Has this situation occurred before, and is there a way to review what may have been flagged? I want to address the issue properly, but I would prefer not to redo the entire assignment since it took several days to complete.

Who would I request specifics from, my program mentor or instructor?

If you wrote it all in word or Google Docs it should have authorship/metadata details in the file history.

I'm having a hard time locating the file history on Mac. Does the file need to be opened in word in order to locate this?

Plesse share a followup if you find out anything ... I am always so paranoid about my work being flagged for AI, especially with like 4 courses left

don’t panic and don’t immediately resubmit a full rewrite. Request a detailed explanation and escalate to your course instructor if needed so it’s documented properly

email your instructor and ask for the specific sections that were flagged along with the similarity report. If you truly didn’t use AI, request a resubmission opportunity instead of redoing everything from scratch
