I'm nervous

[Neapolitan Ice Cream]

A little while ago, I submitted two higher diplomas for marking. My awarding body made it clear that internet research was A-OK, as long as the test papers were in my own words and I had done the legwork/learning.

Well, I did the learning, supported by the internet (Encyclopaedia Britannica, references in NICE, NHS, etc). and - here's the pressing point - passed the answers through QuillBot (https://quillbot.com/ - which I regularly use to summarise long drawn out texts), in an effort to mark things appear more academic (which I then proofread). The results are due any day now, in a week at most.

What I'm worried about is whether or not the awarding body will take one look and assume that the answers were totally generated by AI, which they are not.

I desperately want to pass, I'm just fearful I went one step too far! I know, silly silly, should never have done it, but 20/20 hindsight etc.

I imagine it’s difficult for instructors to differentiate between people using AI and people using editing or proofreading programs that have been around for quite a while now. So long as you have proof of your research, can you appeal if they think it’s AI?

I think so. It will be crushing though to be denied a qualification.
