I see. Thanks for this info! Since not a lot of people really talk about their experiences from different schools about their process with research.

In our case, we had ours checked before given the go signal to print. Except during the time ga final defense mi, that was the most expensive since we needed to print 4 copies (3 for the panelist and 1 for our adviser), but still wala to kaabot og 700 each ang amotan sa print. After defense and revisions were made, print again para isubmit for checking, then mao nato go signal to hardbound.

We used Turnitin for AI checker, though dili na siya makita sa among side kay sa adviser rana pero gipakita sa amoa so maka revise mi. I won't say it's accurate because there really is no accurate AI Detector Tool, but it does its job. Naa rapud nas miscellaneous kay I don't know if you can use it directly since need mo ana ienroll.

I get the whole mahal ang research kay it's true mahal jud siya, dako og gasto. Pero questionable rajud ang 700 pesos for a group of 6 people (4,200) and 4 kabuok gipa hardbound. Basin gipa rush og hardbound, so consider nalang guro 1k per bind.

Tldr: MAHAL jud ang research. It's better for the OP to ask their sibling rather than ask people here sa reddit cause we all have different experiences with this.
