See for example for accessing old versions of a Word document. If you're able to produce evidence of partial work, it'll be clear you've produced the report yourself instead of copying it from previous work. All of these programs store old revisions, although Google Docs stores all of the revisions while Word and Libre Office only a limited number. It's quite likely that you've produced your report in either MS Word, Libre Office or Google Docs. The only reasonable explanation is that the professor taught us in a similar manner and our report writing manner was similar due to the fact we have taken the same courses a year apart and had the same professors who molded our report writing skills.įirstly, use version control. I literally can only deny the allegations. Should I just say that I did not cheat and stick with it? Or should I ask if I can redo the reports (though it sounds suspicious)? The reports were 68 percent similar and I feel like the odds are against me even though I did not do anything.Įdit: the software used was turnitin and I do not hav access to the original files to get time stamps. I know I did not cheat from anybody and I feel like the similarity could be due to a similar thought process (which sounds ridiculous). Even though I continuously denied it, he went forward to go to a formal hearing in the university where a panel will judge the outcome. I had a formal meeting with the professor where he tried to push me into admitting I cheated by showing me the surprising similarities. Today I got accused by my professor of cheating and copying two reports I submitted.
