Abstract:
Dataset for "Criminal Minds: How First-Year CS Students Plagiarize Code"
In this repository, we share the 10 original and 35 plagiarized code submissions that we collected during the study.
From the original dataset, we
* removed 12 plagiarized programs which were unchanged compared to their original
* mapped the names and IDs of participants to a random five-letter pseudonym identifier
* removed files related to IDEs, Git, Maven, and compiled artifacts.
We provide the following artifacts:
* cloc: Counts of lines of code and documentation for each submission
* code: the original (code/orig/) and plagiarized (code/plag/) submissions, each named to map to the original submissions (o1-o5), study group (A and B) and university (uni1 and uni2).
* logs: analysis results of the change logs. For a final version, we will also supply the proper change logs.
* similarity: analysis results of the plagiarism detection system JPlag, including the executable and instructions to replicate
* survey: survey results as raw data. For a final version, we will include free text responses.
* task: the task description for Dots and Boxes.
