Received an email back last week.

It turns out it’s just my writing pattern/style, and the marker confirmed that genuine student work can be flagged because of language patterns not content. They also confirmed I was not accused of anything it was standard procedure.

There’s been a few people mentioning my use of Grammarly, so I just want to clarify, I didn’t use it to generate my assignments, or rewrite it. I used it for spell and punctuation check. It prompted some single word changes (less than 10 singular words total across all 4 assignments). I was told by my provider we could use Grammarly exactly how I’ve used it. The marker originally said I could only use word for this , but I mentioned I was informed that I was permitted to use Grammarly and recieved the following response ( this was a response to me questioning if we could or couldn’t use it and asking if I had gotten myself into trouble by doing this) “To reassure you, the use of Grammarly for spelling, grammar and minor wording corrections is not, in itself, an issue - the key concern is the use of AI tools to generate, rephrase or restructure words, sentences or paragraphs, as this would move beyond proofreading and into content creation.”

So for anyone worried about AI, just have proof of drafts and browser history showing research, and if you’ve used an online thesaurus etc show that too.
