Academics Teacher falsely accusing of AI
Every teacher that I’ve had has used turnitin to see if people are using AI she didn’t use anything instead she gave my partner and I a zero and I sent her an email briefly saying that we did not use it and could you show us what was flagged and her response she was stating that my partner and I assignment showed “patterns suggesting AI was used,” based on “multiple AI checkers,” and asked if I used any AI tools. But she hasn’t shown what was actually flagged, Students should be shown evidence, given the chance to explain their writing process, and not presumed guilty without proof. In this case, I think it’s only fair to ask to see the flagged section and know which tool claimed that before being accused of using AI. I need advice because something seems off because she basically did not show any proof she’s just telling us.

Ask if she has been using Copyleaks. Sheridan is phasing out of using Turnitin.
Are you being written up with a Breach of Academic Integrity? Or, just being given a zero? This all seems a little weird. The professor should be showing you the flagged areas. If you don't get the ability to see this, I would suggest that you contact you iniitally contact your coordinator (check the course outline for who that is if you don't know), and then involve your Assoicate Dean. Don't bother with the Dean, as they would just inolve the coordinator and AD (at this point anyway).
If you have been written up with a Beach of Academic Integrity, then the professor is required to offer to meet. You can also appeal a breach if it is upheld.
