An original method of spectral similarity analysis for plagiarism detection in university project is presented. The approach is based on a clone detection tool called CLAN that performs metrics based similarity analysis of source code fragments. Definitions and algorithms for spectral similarity analysis are presented and discussed. Experiments performed on university projects are presented. Experimental results include the distribution of similarity in C and C++ projects. Analysis of spectral
