How I went from failing to Dean’s List using active recall
Ok I need to vent a little but also genuinely looking for advice here.
After going through all of this I realized that the conventional wisdom is mostly wrong. Not completely wrong but definitely misleading in some important ways. I’ll break it down step by step so you can see what I mean.
I spent way too much time on this honestly but I think it was worth it. The key insight is that there’s no one size fits all answer here. What works for one person might not work for another and that’s ok. The important thing is to find what works for you.
What do you all think? Am I off base here or does this match your experience too?

Can confirm this matches what I've seen. My roommate got flagged for a paper she definitely wrote herself and it was a nightmare to appeal.
Totally agree with you on that. I had a professor last semester who didn't even know how to interpret Turnitin reports properly.
I tested this myself after reading your post and got almost identical results. Nice work.
Great point. I'd also add that the technology is changing so fast that policies can't keep up.
