Does anyone have information on statistical procedures used for assessing
plagiarism?
I am doing something on image-analysis, which is formally rather similar and
would like to see how the ideas extend to e.g. works of art.

Some questions to spark your thoughts.
For students:
* Does it bother you that fellow students cheat at assessments and do
not get caught?
* What types of cheating have you come across?
* What measures do you think would make assessments fairer?
* Do you think students that are caught cheating should be expelled from
the course?
* Copying material from the internet without acknowledging the source is
OK?
For teachers:
* Have you noticed an increase in the level of cheating?
* What strategies do you use to combat cheating?
* Have you changed how you assess students because of cheating?
* How many markers do you have?
* The type of course/student determines the type of cheating?
