Metrics Based Plagiarism Monitoring
نویسنده
چکیده
Plagiarism in programming courses is a pervasive and frustrating problem that undermines the educational process. Defining plagiarism is difficult because of the fuzzy boundary between allowable peer-peer collaboration and plagiarism. Pursuing suspected plagiarism has attendant emotional and legal risks to the student and teacher, with the teacher bearing the burden of proof. In this paper we present a metrics-based system for monitoring similarities between programs and for gathering the "preponderance" of evidence needed to pursue suspected plagiarism. Anonymous results from monitoring are posted to create a climate in which the issue of plagiarism is discussed openly.

Plagiarism Monitoring and Detection – towards an Open Discussion
Plagiarism in programming courses is a pervasive and frustrating problem that undermines the educational process. Often plagiarism falls in the gray area separating profitable peer-peer collaboration, excessive dependence on others, and outright cheating. Unless the evidence is compelling, pursuing suspected plagiarism is generally not worth the emotional and legal risks to student and teacher ...
متن کاملA Pairwise Document Analysis Approach for Monolingual Plagiarism Detection
The task of plagiarism detection entails two main steps, suspicious candidate retrieval and pairwise document similarity analysis also called detailed analysis. In this paper we focus on the second subtask. We will report our monolingual plagiarism detection system which is used to process the Persian plagiarism corpus for the task of pairwise document similarity. To retrieve plagiarised passag...
متن کاملSoftware metrics and plagiarism detection
The reliability of plagiarism detection systems, which try to identify similar programs in large populations, is critically dependent on the choice of program representation. Software metrics conventionally used as representations are described, and the limitations of metrics adapted from software complexity measures are outlined. An applicationspecific metric is proposed, one that represents t...
متن کاملDetection of Plagiarism in University Projects Using Metrics-based Spectral Similarity
An original method of spectral similarity analysis for plagiarism detection in university project is presented. The approach is based on a clone detection tool called CLAN that performs metrics based similarity analysis of source code fragments. Definitions and algorithms for spectral similarity analysis are presented and discussed. Experiments performed on university projects are presented. Ex...
متن کاملPattern of Plagiarism in Novice Students’ Generated Programs: An Experimental Approach
In this research we looked for such metrics by an experimental approach that was carried out in three phases. In the first phase we learned the possible ways to plagiarize, which was done by interviewing students. Categorizing the known methods lead us to the most popular plagiarism approach that was applied by the students. Therefore an experiment was designed to simulate the real plagiarism s...
