Curious to see how people feel about age gaps within relationships / marriages.
I think it’s pretty ‘normal’ to encounter age gaps of around 5 years either side, but what about say 10 or 20+ years between partners?
Is there such a thing as too big of an age gap?
Is age just a number? Does it matter if they’re both adults?
Obviously talking about legal, consenting relationships between adults!
I am doing an access to HE course with an online provider and have had one of my assignments returned to me unmarked due to “a significant part of it being generated or refined using AI”.
I have not used AI at all, in fact I’m quite against it. They are basing their allegations on two AI detector websites and when I ran my work through them they both displayed different results so I feel they are unreliable. Both websites also clearly state they should not be used as the sole basis of academic penalties.
I wrote an email to the course manager explaining that I have not used AI, offering to share my google docs version history that shows timestamped edits, highlighted inconsistencies in the findings of the AI detectors and also shared that I’m autistic which can affect the way I think and write, resulting in my writing sometimes seeming “overly structured and methodical”. I have always submitted work with a high academic standard so this essay was consistent with the quality I am able to achieve.
Throughout my essay I have used sources which I have referenced appropriately in text and in the reference list.
I received an email back this morning from them which did not acknowledge any of the points I made. They simply said “When you run your essay through each scanner, what percentage of AI does it show? AI should be a an absolute maximum of 20%, and ideally 0%.”
The scanner showed 31.5% yesterday and 29% today. The exact same text with the exact same AI detection website.
I really don’t know what to do as they don’t seem to be listening to me and simply keep referring back to their unreliable AI detectors.
If I get kicked off this course or I am not able to complete it then I’ll miss the opportunity to go to uni this year which would be devastating as I’ve made a lot of sacrifices, work arrangements, housing decisions etc because of it. I’m a mature student and I really am very keen to go this year. I’m so worried and just don’t know what to do.
Any advice or help is much appreciated 🙏

Hi, does anyone have any experience of Winchester uni?
I’ve been offered a place but unsure as I’ve not heard / read much about people’s experiences there.
