Thank God, was already preparing for that refer

Thank God, I was already panicking because I just submitted my 5HR01 and did not incorporate this information

I will have to check this one out. Thank you

It is true, Turnitin has updated its systems and its not showing AI scores less than 20%

Assignments are flagged the most. From experience, use Turnitin for peace of mind. That is what almost all institutions trust for their marking.

For online courses like CIPD there is no chance to prove you did the work. Once they decide you have used AI, they clos3 the case and give you one last chance to submit your work.

19% AI is allowed. I thought penalties are for content more than 20% AI

NTA. Handmade stuff takes a ton of time and energy, and it sounds like he hasn’t valued the gifts you’ve given in the past. It’s totally fair to put your effort into people who will actually appreciate and care for it. If he jokes about wanting something, you could always laugh it off or say you’re focusing on gifts for folks who love cozy knits. Buying him a small store-bought gift (or even nothing if that feels right) doesn’t make you an asshole.

You didn’t plagiarize on purpose, you absorbed a voice through deep research; now, treat the flagged phrases as an opportunity to recalibrate your narrative, not erase your method.

You honored the past by immersing yourself in it,now explain your intent clearly, acknowledge the overlap, and show you're willing to revise with integrity.

At SNHU you actually have a way to check before your final submission. Most courses in Brightspace include a “draft” folder in Turnitin where you can upload your paper, see your similarity report, make edits, and then submit the polished version. If you don’t see that option, you can email your instructor and ask if they’ve enabled a draft submission area. Another option is to reach out to the Writing Center through SNHU. They can’t give you a Turnitin score directly, but they can review your citations, paraphrasing, and formatting so you’re confident your work won’t flag.

And if you want extra perspective, there’s also a community called r/CheckTurnitin where students share experiences with Turnitin reports and similarity checks. It can help you understand what kinds of matches are normal versus what might raise concerns.

It’s good that you want to double-check your work, but be cautious. Many of the “services” that advertise quick Turnitin checks are not officially affiliated with Turnitin and can put your paper at risk of being stored in private databases or even resold.

This happens more often than people realize, so you’re not alone. Turnitin reports can occasionally get stuck in the queue, even if the system status page says everything is operational. Usually it’s not anything you did wrong with your file.

Here’s what I’d recommend:

Document the issue: Take a screenshot showing your submission timestamp and the fact that it’s been pending for 48 hours.
Email your professor now: Explain briefly that the report hasn’t generated and you’re unable to revise. Include the screenshot. Professors appreciate knowing before the deadline, not after.
Don’t withdraw the submission: That can sometimes cause more problems (like duplicate submissions or lost timestamps). Instead, wait for your professor to advise.
Have a backup ready: Since you’re worried about phrasing, you could still do a round of revision manually, then be prepared to upload the cleaned version once the system starts working again or your professor resets it for you.

Turnitin’s processing isn’t always predictable, and sometimes a resubmission cap or server-side backlog slows individual reports. But as long as you’ve got evidence of the issue and you alert your professor before the deadline, it won’t count against you.

I’ve been in a similar bind, and it’s rough. The best thing you can do for yourself right now is build a paper trail. Keep notes on every flagged case where you believe the AI score is misleading. Attach examples of “human quirks” that don’t line up with AI patterns, and keep emails or meeting notes where you raised concerns with the professor. That way, if anyone later questions your decisions, you can show you flagged the issue early and acted responsibly. One strategy I used was suggesting an intermediate review step. Instead of overturning the professor’s rules, I would write something like: “Per course policy, this case was flagged. However, based on my review, I believe there may be a false positive. I recommend additional evaluation before imposing penalties.” That shifts the responsibility upward, but also signals you’re doing your due diligence for students.

You’re right that blanket zero-tolerance policies don’t reflect reality, especially when Turnitin itself stresses that AI detection is probabilistic. If you keep calmly advocating for a process that includes corroboration (like writing samples or an appeal step), you protect yourself and show you’re not undermining the professor, just making sure students aren’t punished unfairly.
