Popis
Shrnutí:Learning to program is an important subject in computer science courses. During programming exercises, plagiarism by copying and pasting can lead to problems for fair evaluation. Some methods of plagiarism detection are currently available, such as sim. However, because sim is easily influenced by changing the identifier or program statement order, it fails to do enough to support plagiarism detection. In this paper, we propose a plagiarism detection method which is not influenced by changing the identifier or program statement order. We also explain our method's capabilities by comparing it to the sim plagiarism detector. Furthermore, we reveal how our method successfully detects the presence of plagiarism.
