    Coursera has a huge amount of data and could create their own algorithms that check for similar code in the database. It wouldn't be perfect but it could do simple string compariso…

    I think that something a lot of people who read this are forgetting (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that most of us have 4 year degrees and/or jobs in Software Engineering …

    Another solution would be to employ an alogrithm that checks your solution against past solutions. It would work much like what professors employ when they submit Reports to an onl…

    I can't believe how ridiculous this is. I think that this will definitely just earn her a bigger following among her fellow players and only alienate the older crowd who wouldn't l…
