Hi HN,
I've created a free-to-try plagiarism detector aimed at preventing students from submitting plagiarized code for CS assignments. Submit some code and it will try to find matches online, including fuzzy matches. I'm looking for feedback on the usability of the tool as well as its usefulness as a product.
Thanks!
- aketchum 8y agoWhat is the benefit of using this tool over the free MOSS tool from Stanford? Does it support checking plagiarism within a class? If I have 200 undergraduates in my CS course can I upload all of their submissions and have them all checked against each other? Does your tool only work on certain languages? I have some examples I want to test this evening and I'll post any more thoughts. I have always been fascinated by cheating detection in CS. I wish you the best in this endeavor!
- eduff 8y agoThanks for your reply! I see this tool as complementary to MOSS. This tool will fingerprint your submissions and compare them to approximate matches found online (e.g. GitHub). As far as I know, MOSS only compares submissions that you have access to and not online sources. This tool does not compare your submissions to each other since MOSS already does a great job at that.
