Reading this semester's essays, I note several common features that I haven't seen like this in past years:

- very few typos and grammatical oddities (which are otherwise common in first year students)
- very repetitive

I think I'm seeing Chat-GPT at work...

@philippsteinkrueger Call in each student and have them recite some of essay, from memory?

If they worked hard on it, they'll know their own words. If they can't do this, allow them to fess-up?

@CMDoran I thought about that. There’s no way these essays are not AI generated, so they won’t be able to engage in any conversation about the content. The question is why I would do that. I can’t fail them because of it as they could always claim that they had forgotten about the content (unlikely, I know) and so the only thing I stand to win is more work…
