game have been developed with the name “magnifying
plagiarism” which is based on identifying and
detecting extent of plagiarism in a submission made
by students. The game concept is developed on the
basis of puzzle or crossword. A series of statements
from the paragraph of a report are taken randomly,
these statements are shuffled and are placed in the
options with a specific sequence which makes sense to
a statement. The idea behind this is to find out the
level of understanding of an individual with regards to
the report along with analytical skills required to form
a meaningful sentence. There will be series of 10
questions with a shuffled statement each carrying a
weightage of 10%. Minimum percentage required by a
candidate in order to pass a plagiarism test is
aggregate of 90%.
