I once got a paper that was the xerox copy of his lab partner's report, with lab partner's name on the cover sheet. It took me almost an hour to convince him that this was a case of plagiarism.

His argument was that writing the report on his own was wasted duplication of effort.

In my lab course where I required papers, a included a handout specifying what 
plagiarism was and was not.

Of course, I still got one paper handed in with the original author's name in 
the upper right hand corner of each page (I kid you not)!
