So the ideas aren’t yours?
Yea I noted above you’ll likely meet the prof.
Listen. Hear what he says. Don’t get defensive.
Find out the options.
Are any satisfactory ? Are you being sent to a discipline committee ?
Relax. Don’t speak.
If you do don’t say what you just said. Either admit and be contrite or ask next steps.
Keylogger software? Were you aware of this prior. That might be illegal???
If anything it can help defend yourself but that seems odd.
No I wasn’t which was kind of stupid tbh. Its a school program, so it probably would have some sort of way to record history.
Alright thanks a lot for the reply.
So you can read the syllabus and school policy but I don’t think they can put a key logger on without your knowledge. Maybe there is something written and you didn’t pay attention to it. It does record history of your key strokes and sites where you have been. They can put on key phrases like “AI” and they get an automatic alert to what site you went to etc.
So… If they have that knowledge and you are positive you used it not to copy and paste it etc. That information could be useful.
But, just talk to the professor and state what you said here. Many AI essay scanners aren’t correct either. It’s not a perfect science.
Yet.
Life is about learning experiences and this is one. I wouldn’t get defensive . Just have a conversation with your professor. It might be helpful to actually have a conversation very soon like today with your college advisor. They can be very helpful in these types of situations. They might even know the professor and can be helpful.
Take the mature high road and learn from this. As your finding out there are no short cuts. In college as stated get the most out of it. You will be glad you did. BTW - I know you won’t believe this but I am not a perfect person. But I do learn from my mistakes.
Good luck and let us know what happened if you want to share.
Just an update. The meeting went pretty badly, and they said they are referring it to the misconduct office. This was kinda stupid but I tried to be vague with my responsest. Should I try to meet again and completely come clean for using it for certain parts?
Nope.
They told you what you did.
You had a chance to admit or not.
Now you’ll gig through the process which will be detailed in a student handbook.
There you can acknowledge.
Or defend if you believe that’s right.
Talk to your advisor. Like now.
But if it was me, I would email the professor and let them know what you just said. Maybe you were a bit nervous talking to them at your meeting?? 
.
They were giving you an out and you didn’t take it.
My question to you is… What did you learn from this experience?
I agree, I think this is what I would do as well, and I’d say time is of the essence on correcting the impression left in that meeting. Even if still proceeds as is, I’d still think having a record of you owning up to it can only help and not hurt. Please prepare how you are going to respond on what you’ve learned from this.
