And I am once again thanking my lucky stars that I am not "real" faculty and am not required to grade papers or even ever see student work. The closest I come is giving the occasional mini-lecture on proper source citation, because we all know you would never plagiarize on purpose, right?
Stealing material from other authors, rephrasing it, reorganizing it, and present it in a theoretically new form without seeming choppy or outright stolen requires actually knowing a fair amount about the subject being discussed and having good writing skills - both of which are usually the thing you're trying to avoid needing when you're plagerizing. Amusing.
Throw in some endnotes and what you have isn't plagerism, it's just a research paper :D
