Plagiarism Detector (PD) is a software that was created in response to an alarming incident of academic dishonesty in an entry-level computer science course at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The software developed in this project is meant to detect similarities in code and present the results to instructors in a meaningful way. PD was built in Java using JavaFX with the intention of checking assignments in the Racket programming language. Racket is a general purpose programming language that was selected for the introductory CS classes at WPI due to its intuitive function templates and high-level features. PD used a syntax-tree based similarity detector that was custom built for Racket’s unique syntax structure. We found that our algorithm worked respectably well at finding cases of possible cheating.
