I took a class in college where the professor made us plagiarize our entire final paper. We couldn't use a single completely original sentence. The trick was that you had to highlight and source every plagarization. It turned out this was one of the most challenging papers I wrote in undergrad and it forced me to understand my source material on a much more intimate level. This was 15 years ago and access to information via the internet has only intensified since then. Perhaps our educators need to reconsider from first principles how we assess students in this era.
