Abstract
  • There has been concern voiced for a number of years about the problem of program plagiarism. A number of SIGCSE Bulletin articles have discussed the issue. However, it is not at all clear as to what behavior we are actually referring, nor to what extent it is occurring. How do faculty define 'plagiarism?' How do students define the term? What do students typically do when they plagiarize? Are there discernible patterns in plagiaristic behavior? Are there ways to accurately measure such behavior? Do some types of students plagiarize more than others? Does plagiarism occur more in some kinds of classes than in others? Can we use some kind of metrics to determine when program plagiarism has taken place? What solutions are used or have been suggested to control or to eliminate the occurrence of plagiarism? Are they effective? Lastly, is there any consensus in the computer science profession on these issues and, if not, should there be and can there be?
