I once had a partner on a project where we had to recommend a strategy for a close-to-failing company. The paper had a section on background info on the company and analysis of the companies' strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threat, etc...well this partner had that section of the paper and she essentially copied and pasted text from datamonitor reports, and other similar, easily accessible sources and tried to pass it as her own...I re-wrote everything and turned it in. I didn't turn her in, but I should have.
