DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ONLINE ASSIGNMENT PLAGIARISM CHECKER SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
Plagiarism is the act of abuse, publication, statement, or claims as your own the thoughts, ideas, writings, or a creature that actually belongs to someone else. The aim of the study is to design and implement An Online Assignment Plagiarism Checker System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will research on some important methodologies that have been used to detect external plagiarism, enable the detection of plagiarized content based on titles of projects whether a project already existing in the reference corpus has been plagiarized by a new research and display the similar sentences among the files in the submitted by the students if any presented. The motivation that led to the implementation of the proposed system is that till date no plagiarism detection software has been developed in Nigeria. Alot of people rely on those from abroad which are mostly tailored to the needs of the environment where they were developed. Also, one can say that majority of research works and other works in Nigerian universities are yet unpublished and therefore not likely to be on the web or in the databases of popular plagiarism detection software. The methodology adopted in this study is the structured system analysis and design methodology (SSADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The relevance of the study will help to prevent students from copying other students' assignments and will improve the quality of education and also will help to improve personal skills of student and student can also check the grammar from the assignment. The expected result is An Online Assignment Plagiarism Checker System that will Check the plagiarism among the assignment by comparing it with the documents that are stored in database and provide the plagiarism report in percentage among the submitted assignment of the students.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Introduction
Plagiarism is the act of abuse, publication, statement, or claims as your own the thoughts, ideas, writings, or a creature that actually belongs to someone else. To overcome the practice of plagiarism, it is not enough simply to remind students that the act of plagiarism is not well done. Plagiarism detection practice is a solution that should be done so that fraudulent activity can be minimized. This grammar and plagiarism checker system is used to analyze the plagiarism data. Plagiarism affects the education quality of the students and thereby reduces the economic status of the country. This plagiarism detector measures the similar text that matches and detects plagiarism. The practice of plagiarism is not a strange thing anymore, especially among the students that almost every day working on tasks assigned by the lecturer. The practice of plagiarism is done by the exchange of source code that has been successful. Detecting plagiarism practices is a solution that should be done so that the fraudulent actions can be minimized.
As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.
1.2 Background of Study
Plagiarism is described as taking or stealing someone else's work and presenting it as one's own. The plagiarism data is analysed using this grammar and plagiarism checker system. Plagiarism has a negative impact on student education and, as a result, the country's economic standing. Plagiarism is committed through paraphrased works, keyword and verbatim overlaps, and the conversion of phrases from one form to another, all of which can be detected using WordNet. This plagiarism detection tool compares similar content and finds plagiarism. The internet has altered the lives of students as well as their learning styles. It allows pupils to get deeper into their learning approach while also making their task easy. In order to detect something, many ways are used. The most common method for detecting plagiarism is text mining. Users can register with their basic registration details and create a valid login id and password with this plagiarism checker software.
Students can access their personal accounts by entering their login id and password. Following that, students can upload an assignment file that is divided between content and reference links. This website will analyze the material, visit each reference link, and compare the content of that webpage to the original. Students can also look up the history of prior documents. Teacher also able to check the grammar mistakes on the content and semantical plagiarism.

By inputting their login id and password, students can access their personal accounts. The assignment file, which is divided into content and reference links, can then be uploaded by students. This web software will scan the content, parse it, and visit each reference link, comparing the content of that webpage to the original. Students might also research the background of previous documents. Students can also check the content for grammar errors.
1.3 Statement of Problem
Investigation revealed that there exists lots of plagiarism detection software, implemented either as online applications or as desktop applications. Till date no plagiarism detection software has been developed in Nigeria. Alot of people rely on those from abroad which are mostly tailored to the needs of the environment where they were developed. The following are the specific challenges of the existing system:
- Finding plagiarized parts of an assignment is very slow work for teachers.
- Even with a limited number of texts it relies on the teacher's ability to read and remember every submission.
- As the process of finding plagiarized parts in assignment is based on the teacher's ability to remember all that he or she has read, the results may be incomplete.
- Some clear cases of copy and paste may easily be overlooked, and since the workload cannot be shared between multiple assistants.
1.4 Aim and Objectives of the Study
The aim of the study is to design and implement an Online Assignment Plagiarism Checker System. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to develop an application software that will:
- Research on some important methodologies that have been used to detect external plagiarism.
- Enable the detection of plagiarized content based on titles of projects whether a project already existing in the reference corpus has been plagiarized by a new research.
- Check the plagiarism among the assignment by comparing it with the documents that are stored in database.
- Provide the plagiarism report in percentage among the submitted assignment of the students.
- Display the similar sentences among the files in the submitted by the students if any presented.
1.5 Significance of Study
The relevance of the study will help to prevent students from copying other students' assignments and will improve the quality of education and also will help to improve personal skills of student and student can also check the grammar from the assignment. The plagiarism detector in this system compares comparable texts and detects plagiarism. As well semantically checking will be also done with respect to assignment. For detecting the plagiarism, the proposed system will use data mining algorithm and natural language processing.
This study will be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
