In fact, I find it just as puzzling when students plagiarize things like reading journals. Because there's so little to gain and so much to lose--at the University level, you could get kicked out of school--because you couldn't be bothered to spend half an hour writing your own reading response?

Sometimes I wonder if something a little Darwinian is at work here.
Yeah, every so often, a group of students would go too far though. I remember in my Grade 12 year (yes, year 3, I graduated on time... barely), some guys came close to having a complete test bank. They obviously were caught. The small operations, like ours, were overlooked (cause they were harmless).
