UPDATE to my post: Professor obsessed with cheating has me paranoid

Link to OP: Professor obsessed with cheating has me paranoid. : r/education

First off, I'd love to thank everyone who responded and either:

a. Reassured me

or

b. Accused me of cheating

Both were needed for my frame of mind at the time, as some provided some much needed comic relief for me and others made me realize: this dude isn't out to get me, he is just seriously concerned about the integrity of his class.

Having multiple degrees, I've worked on a stupid amount of insanely stupid group projects and I started to think about the number of times me and other students have had to ask others if they're using AI for their portion in recent years because it was insanely obvious.

Ole dude takes his damn sweet time grading shit but I got all A marks.

I'm only halfway through so I don't know the final outcome but I've been breathing a little easier.

I went against some of the better advice and wrote a paper right before it was due and turned it in as-is. I checked over it once for insanely obvious mistakes but was more concerned with it appearing AI generated.

His feedback? I quote this directly:

Pretty good writing; pretty good answers; pretty good use of your sources.

My grade? 97.5, mistakes be damned. Guess he was just glad to know I wrote my own paper.

I try not to use my schizophrenia as a crutch and try to act as if I'm as 'normal' as possible but it really does appear the paranoid side of me got the best of me. I'd very much like to thank everyone for responding, regardless of how positive or negative, as it convinced me to not drop the class and regardless of if I pass, I am going to pass without being accused of cheating.
