My husband assigned a research paper. And then he spent a week tracking down all the plagerized bits and pieces from the net. Fortunately, it's not hard for a teacher to tell whether or not a student wrote something by his or herself if the teacher gets in-class writing samples in order to gauge ability. And the silly kids just copied and pasted like the first thing that came up in a yahoo search.
He estimated that 15% of his class had at least some plagerism. The rest of the papers were pretty incomprehensible.
Papers, yeah, they're a whole different story from tests. These are Baltimore area elementary/middle schools? Yeah... real bummer for those kids.. sad actually.
