Another problem with homework in the form of programs is that it is fairly
easy to alter a working program in such a way that the new copy of the
program looks very different, but is identical except for identifier names
and format.  I've heard that their are programs which will compare two
programs syntactically that are sometimes used when cheating is suspected.

The person who made the comment about students not knowing how accurate his
statements in class are should realize that many students read these bboards.
