NEWS CENTER MAINE: This is the first reelection campaign that you're run since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I was hoping you could talk to me a little bit about your vote to confirm Kavanaugh and whether you regret that? SUSAN COLLINS: I do not regret that vote.

This is one way I know a lot of teachers are doing AI detection (detectors don't work, don't use them). Pull the kid into your office and ask them questions about the paper. They can almost never answer with any specificity.
