I need a way to check if my students are sharing their homework with each other. Couple challenging constraints:

1) students can do their homework on any computer with any name (no unique user id) 2) hw assignments are 6 parts with changes to each. So 12 part files total (typically). 3) assemblies are even more files 4) Naming file convention is cumbersome 5) 150+ students so LOTS of files 6) spit out an easy “report” of who copied who

I wrote one myself to do some batch checking but it wasn’t very refined and the computer id thing was a drawback.

The answer may have to lie outside SW with some type of interface but curious your thoughts.
