In reality, professors are going to catch plagiarism only if the student happens to copy from a source that the professor is very familiar with.
Not so. Say you've got a student with poor reading and writing skills. Said student suddenly turn in an erudite, well-written paper. You don't have to know jack about its sources to smell something funny.
My wife, who teaches at a state university, has to deal with plagiarists every semester, despite her policy to instantly kick offenders out of her class.
