Automating Code Plagiarism and AI Checks in GitHub Classroom

GitHub Classroom automates assignment distribution, but grading still exposes copied code and AI-authored submissions late in the semester. By wiring Codequiry’s dual-purpose API into a GitHub Actions pipeline, instructors can flag both traditional plagiarism and LLM-generated solutions the moment a student pushes. This walkthrough shows the exact YAML and shell scripts you need, plus how to interpret the structured similarity and AI probability reports that come back.

Across Two Semesters, AI Code Detector Accuracy Hit 87% in Python

A two-semester experiment at a mid-sized CS department put Codequiry’s AI code detector to the test across 1,200 student submissions. The tool achieved 87% overall accuracy in identifying AI-generated Python code, with a manageable false-positive rate and strong recall. The study surfaced distinct patterns in where detection excels—and where manual judgment remains essential.

Bootcamps Are Automatically Scanning Every Submission for AI Code

Coding bootcamps that graduate thousands of developers a year are shifting from manual spot-checks to automated AI code detection on every single submission. Here’s a hands‑on guide to building that pipeline with Codequiry’s API — from single‑file scanning to a full CI‑grade batch checker you can run in a GitHub Action.

How Code Similarity Detection Grew From Diff to AI

From the early days of the Unix diff command to the rise of MOSS, JPlag, and AI-powered detectors, code similarity detection has undergone a quiet revolution. This retrospective traces the key technical milestones—tokenization, ASTs, fingerprinting, web-source matching, and the new frontier of AI-generated code—showing how each layer made plagiarism harder to hide. See how modern platforms like Codequiry unify these techniques into a single pipeline.

How an Engineering Team Automated Code Originality Checks for Contractors

When a mid-sized software firm started scaling external contractor contributions, they needed a way to verify code originality at scale. By integrating Codequiry’s API into their CI/CD pipeline, they built an automated gate that flagged plagiarized open-source snippets and AI-generated code before it ever hit the main branch. Here’s a look at their process, the false-positive tradeoffs, and the integration that saved their legal review hours.

Automating Source Code Plagiarism Checks With Canvas and Codequiry

When a single CS1 assignment yields 300+ submissions, manual plagiarism checking simply doesn't scale. This hands-on guide walks through connecting Canvas to Codequiry's API, running similarity and AI-detection scans with a handful of Python scripts, and posting flagged results directly back into the SpeedGrader — so you catch the cases that matter without drowning in paperwork.

Designing Plagiarism-Resistant Programming Assignments

Copy-paste code and AI-generated solutions are flooding CS courses. Smart assignment design—parameterized prompts, incremental checkpoints, and open-ended specs—can make copying so cumbersome that students default to doing their own work. This deep dive builds a concrete, reusable playbook for instructors.

A Framework for Scanning AI-Generated Code in Student Submissions

AI large language models can now generate passable code for many introductory CS assignments, leaving instructors scrambling. A systematic scanning framework—combining AI detection, plagiarism analysis, and human review gates—can reliably identify AI-written submissions while respecting due process. Here’s how to build one.

The Long Road to Refactoring-Resistant Code Plagiarism Detection

Code refactoring — renaming variables, reordering statements, extracting functions — has long been the easiest way for students to disguise copied code. This article traces the thirty-year arms race between obfuscation tactics and detection techniques, from simple string comparison to modern AST and graph-based analysis that can spot similarities even after heavy transformation. Understanding this history explains why no single method is perfect and how layered approaches like Codequiry’s hybrid engine achieve the highest accuracy.

Teaching Code Attribution Before Students Write a Single Line

Too many CS students treat code from Stack Overflow, GitHub, or AI tools as free for the taking. Teaching attribution as a core skill from the first assignment reduces plagiarism and builds professional habits. This article walks through concrete strategies, assignment patterns, and detection workflows that make attribution part of the learning process.

How Burstiness and Perplexity Catch AI-Generated Code

Burstiness and perplexity aren't just linguistic curiosities—they're the primary statistical signals that distinguish human-written source code from LLM output. This article explains exactly how these measures work under the hood, with worked examples, real-world detection rates, and honest limitations.
