I find it really disturbing that there is this general mistrust against students there. In most cases a professor/teacher would know the style of the students and if that suddenly changes to a proficient writing style that leaves nothing to be desired that should ring a bell. Yes you could argue that this is a problem when there are new students but I think it should be easy for a teacher to find out the capabilities of a student. And after all if a teacher finds a sentence or paragraph he finds suspicious he could use citeseer or google to crosscheck.
