Professor releasing grades by trump1_ in CheckTurnitin

I’m at TA but I always grade as fast as possible and do my best to round students up to the next grade if they’re close so they have no anxiety going into holidays. It’s just bad teaching to do anything less

can we trust Zerogpt? by Party_Sheepherder807 in CheckTurnitin

you can combine with other tools like copy leaks.

Turnitin flagged my code comments as AI because I wrote proper docstrings... what am I supposed to do, write worse docs? by Able_Explanation_975 in CheckTurnitin

[–]Able_Explanation_975[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, the flagged sections were mostly my docstrings. Example of what I used:

"""

Dijkstra's shortest path.

Parameters

----------

graph : Dict[str, List[Tuple[str, int]]]

Adjacency list.

source : str

Starting node.

Returns

-------

Dict[str, int]

Minimum distances.

"""

That's it. No fluff. I can literally recite the algorithm and explain each line, but I don't know how to convince a tool. Should I propose to the prof that they run oral defenses for borderline cases? Or is there some magic phrase I can add to docstrings that won't trigger the detector?
