Just got back from Spring Break, and my to-do list this week includes failing three students in my freshman-level academic writing class for using AI to write their papers. I used white font to implant some "invisible" instructions on the assignment sheet, so when they upload it or cut-n-paste it into an LLM, the bot follows the secret input, et voila!
BUSTED!
I'll be so glad to retire in May and never have to deal w/ this BULLSHIT ever again.

That trick catches the guilty, but it doesn't discourage the crime.

I use a blend of homework and in-class work. Students must score at least 60% on BOTH to pass. The smart ones realize that this means doing the homework themselves will help them pass the in-class work. The not-smart ones get 95% on the homework by using LLMs, and 55% on the in-class work.

You can see why this prevents the crime.
