In high school US history, there was a daily homework assignment where we had to turn in a 1 page paper on some historical topic (for example, the battle of antietam in the civil war). Teacher never really read the homework- just scanned it for some keywords and made sure no one was copying off of anyone else.

I made a deal with the girl that sat next to me that we would do each others homework on alternating weeks. On her weeks, she'd write two different versions of something similar, paraphrased from the textbook.

On my weeks, I'd copy /paste some blurb from online for her version. Then I'd take that blurb, and run it through babelfish a couple times for mine. Worked great.

One time I got sloppy, and didn't even run mine through the translator. I just handed in identical things in different fonts. She got a check +, and i got a check. I can't describe how furious I was.
