@Andbaker Really interesting. What is Turnitin providing in terms of analysis, eg does it highlight specific sections as it does for other sources? Does it provide any reasoning attached to the highlights? What did you think from looking at the positives yourself?
I wonder if you could run an anonymous survey asking students if they had used it, and see how the %s line up.
@Andbaker Meaning, you are fairly confident that students wouldn't fail to declare/cite just because they were nervous about the consequences (despite you allowing it)?
Certainly very different numbers to Turnitin's own claims.
@jroper
Yes, fairly confident is a good summary.
The same class submits another assignment Friday week. genAI is allowed and I'll stress the importance of correct attribution. That should be a useful comparison.
@jroper
yes, it highlights the text for marker to see, but the students don't see any detail at all, not even the AI percentage score. No reasoning is given to the marker.
All my assignments are set up to allow students to use genAI and the pros and cons are openly discussed in class. So I can ignore the TurnItIn AI check. That seems to be a good thing if this is a typical false positive and negative output.
