The CodeGrade plagiarism detection software works with all common languages from the C-family, in addition to many other common programming languages including Java, Python, Jupyter Notebooks, PHP, R, Scala and JavaScript. CodeGrade is integrated directly into your learning management system (such as Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, Blackboard and Open edX) so that all source code is directly taken into account in the plagiarism check and results are easily accessible via your LMS with our intuitive side-by-side comparison view. With CodeGrade, teachers can finally check for plagiarism on C, C++ and C# source code with only a single click. Want to also automatically grade your C# assignments?

Because of this, teachers often do acknowledge the importance of detecting plagiarism, but simply lack the time to do so effectively. Having to manually copy and paste source code to another tool and manually parsing results often only increases an already huge workload of teachers. We see that teachers unfortunately often still have to skip checking for plagiarism, as it is simply impossible to manually check for plagiarism in student submissions in all the student submissions and using separate plagiarism checker tools is found to be too cumbersome. Detecting plagiarism is important not just to avoid having plagiarised source code but also to encourage students to learn, practice and test their own programming skills by submitting original content. With more and more students doing programming assignments in C, C++, C# or other C-family languages, it has become more important to maintain academic integrity in source code submissions too.

Finally, C# (or C-sharp) is often taught as an introductory language or as part of a game development course in Unity. The C programming language is often taught in low-level programming or data structure courses, whereas C++ is a great programming language for parallel programming, performance heavy tasks and gaming. These languages are well known, industry standard and very versatile, and thus a great addition to the skillset of any STEM student.

Almost all computer science degrees teach students some language from the C-family of programming languages.
