It's not hard to determine if a paper was plagiarized, bought, copied, etc. If you have had a student all year, a nine weeks period, one week,or even ONE day you WILL know what the student is capable of doing (vocabulary, usage, sentence structure, mechanics, etc). If the high school student writes on a certain level (let's say 6th grade), then ALL of a sudden, the student turns in a paper that is stellar, you become suspicious.

True. Just trying to offer another perspective on the issue.
