Teachers, how do I prevent my students from cheating?

Any ideas of how to see when and who made the first drawing of an object?
I am worried my students are just down loading from Public Files.  I am doing the reverse engineering project of drawing the parts of a clicking ball point pen. 

I see you can look at "Version and History" in the upper left but that shows me as the owner if I copy something from the Public files.

Any help would be great.

A simple way to check that a document is not a copy is to look at the start version -- if it's a copy, it'll have whatever was copied.  If it's an original, it'll just have an empty part studio and assembly.  You can in principle get around this by creating an empty document and bringing in tabs using parting out, but the history of changes in the document will show this -- show the individual changes and if the student did the work, the changes show what they did when.

To add to Ilya's comment, here's a video that covers the different strategies that exist in EDU Standard and EDU Enterprise for evaluating the academic integrity of a document:  https://learn.onshape.com/courses/evaluating-academic-integrity-of-documents
