    Oh man you would never believe what I did once in uni...

    Anyway plagiarism just seems like a low-scale arms race to me. Students will always plagiarise and the school has to keep up with trends.

    Do away with research papers and do final exam essays. I know it's not practical...I can't really take this seriously.

    When I was at uni I stupidly let a guy see the assembly code I was writing for an assignment, and he took a copy of it when I wasn't looking and submitted it. Luckily though, I was only half done with the assignment and he submitted it thinking it was the full thing, and took all the blame and got booted out of the course for submitting half of another student's assignment.

    I didnt plagiarise but i did have "group study sessions" where I would milk every student i knew for all the information they had on the subject while pretending to provide information on the table as an act of "helping them" when really I held everything I really knew inside. I usually got good marks so being the 'smart' one they didnt expect that I was the one benefiting most from the situation. Thats research.

    In 6th grade we had to write these mini-essays for my English class. I copied entire paragraphs from Britannica and he didn't bat an eyelash. In fact, all A+ papers.
