Scores are not accusations

For teachers and reviewers

Never use a report to accuse or penalize

A report is a prompt to look closer, never a verdict. Do not use an Inkprint result as evidence for discipline, a grade penalty, or an accusation of cheating.

Instead, do this:

• Ask about the process: drafts, notes, outlines, and version history.
• Discuss the specific passages the report marked, with the student, not about the student.
• Remember that false signals happen: quoted material, formulaic essays, second-language phrasing, and heavy editing all leave traces.
• Follow your school’s policy and due process. A tool cannot replace either.

For students

A flagged result is not a finding of cheating

Your writing can trip these patterns for ordinary reasons. If a report about your work raises questions, share your drafts and notes, and explain how you worked. That context matters more than any score.

You can ask to see the evidence behind each signal. Every mark points to a passage and explains what matched, so the discussion stays about the text.

Responsible AI

We support the responsible use of AI

Used well, AI tools help students learn. Used as a substitute for thinking, they take the learning away. Inkprint exists to support honest work, not surveillance.

• Check your school’s policy before you use an AI tool for coursework.
• Disclose AI use when your instructor asks.
• Use AI to explain ideas, practice, and get feedback. Write the submitted work yourself.
• Keep your process visible: notes, drafts, and revisions show how the work came together.

The goal is better learning, and that goal belongs to students and teachers together.

Scope

Who this applies to

This page is part of our Terms of service and applies to everyone who uses Inkprint, including students, teachers, tutors, and administrators.

Inkprint does not make decisions about academic standing, grades, or discipline. People do, and they must follow their institution’s rules and the law.
