of its effectiveness, and attempts to improve this aspect of an engine’sperformance are often the source of entirely new similarity engines and corresponding theoreticalinnovation [5, 6].The increasing prevalence of programming assignments in first-year engineering courseworkmarks a corresponding increase in source code plagiarism outside the confines of computerscience departments. The nature of programming assignments in the context of engineeringeducation presents unique challenges for similarity engines developed with lengthy, staticallytyped programs in mind. This paper is interested in the application of its results in the first-yearengineering education setting, so it will focus on Python, a rapidly growing language thatcontinues to

is around events or situations and you can't demonstrate that, live anyway. They give you a case study and for philosophy, again, it's like ideas in the mind. It doesn't really matter whether it's in person or online, and those ones I preferred online because the quality was the same as I would expect in person. (ST12) If it's just a course where you sit down and take notes on probably some math heavy subject or something like ECE [Electrical and Computer Engineering] or physics related, it's probably okay because you're pretty much just translating the lecture into just video format. But if it's a course like Praxis [a design course] that we took in EngSci [Engineering Science] that has a lot more
