Instead of failing them on this assignment, why not make them do an oral presentation and grade this assignment on that, if there is doubt?\

Failing them completely seems a bit heavy-handed and unfair. Surely some did leverage ChatGPT, but likely not all did so.

Because this is a bad teacher not interested in doing their job.

Been saying this for a while. There are very simple and effective ways to teach your class that can't be cheated with AI. These professors are simply lazy and uncreative.

This doesn’t sound like he’s failing the entire class. >If you are happy with your grade, simply do not turn in the next assignment

The threads show that ChatGPT claims to have written anything if you ask it to. So it really doesn't matter what the student submits, ChatGPT will claim it?
