What people who either cant write or are too lazy do whenever a paper is due. Any usage of someone elses writing as ones own is plagiarism, no matter how cleverly disguised (or not) it is.
Perhaps the most common way is to search for or download existing papers, [cut and paste], change the wording superficially and scramble it a little, and [turn it in] as your own. Other common methods are to simply copy other students work in ones class, changing it superficially, or to download or even buy papers online.
Any way you do it, its a [reprehensible] practice that can, and should get you in big trouble. There are known cases where students have been held back a year, or even expelled. Unfortunately, plagiarism still seems to be a growing problem, and students usually get away with it.
