Abstract

THE AIMS 1. To verify the current capabilities of Turnitin (a plagiarism checking service widely used by educational institutions) of detecting AI writing. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of the structured interview, as an implemented technique of reducing the technology-assisted plagiarism in students’ written assignments. THE METHODS 1. Lecturer’s experiments with AI writing tools (generative, paraphrasing, translating and text humanisers) including the analysis of resulting Turnitin’s similarity and AI scores for the created samples. 2. The retrospective case studies of students’ assignments, the processes/outcomes of their assessment.
