Collaboration Versus Cheating: Reducing Code Plagiarism in an Online MS Computer Science Program
Year: 2019
Type: preprint
Abstract: We outline how we detected programming plagiarism in an introductory online course for a master's of science in computer science program, how we achieved a statistically significant reduction in programming plagiarism by combining a clear explanation of university and class policy on academic honesty reinforced with a short but formal assessment, and how we evaluated plagiarism rates before and after implementing our policy and assessment.
