The teacher may know your writing style or your writing abilities. Or if you didn't provide detailed instructions (like using a specific source covered in class), it may be a little suspicious too.

A good teacher will notice if you submit a work done by someone else. Unless this someone else will write in the manner of your own, but that is almost impossible. Besides if students write some paper they should know very well what is written there and this can be tracked by teachers.

I think Ann_y wanted to say this: IF the teacher *knows* your writing style well enough he/she may be able to question the authenticity of the paper IF the paper in question is written in a very different style. But even then it would be near to impossible to actually "prove" that you weren't the author because the writing style evolves over time too.

Have a look at this article I found on the net - it suggests what to do if your teacher found you have plagiarised - I found it... hmmm... interesting :-)

Don't think a teacher would "automatically" suspect anything.

My teacher told me he knows I was copying-pasting some text from the Internet, but he didn't do anything about it. He only asked me if I knew what I was copying and asked a few questions from the text; I read the material and knew the answers so he said "at least you read what you copied" and let it go. But next time I won't do it again; it's embarassing.

SPAMming the board to increase your post count is not formally against the rules, but I'm sure that the moderator will tell you that it's not allowed and will result in your account being terminated.

1) Plagiarism check and if that comes up clean:
2) writing style - does it match your own?
3) content - is it far more advanced than what is expected of you
4) familiarity - are you familiar with the contents and can argue them? Many students submit papers which they have not thoroughly read ... don't make that mistake :)

A teacher will know that you cheated when you don't receive a quality paper in return. Many writers are still learning about the writing process. There may be citing mistakes that are obvious to the instructor. If you receive a quality paper that is written right, then your instructor may never notice, of course, unless you start discussing it to others. Make sure you never disclose to anyone that you ordered a paper because someone is sure to use that information to get you in trouble. Read what I wrote below.
Some writers and students make mistakes with the citing process. One time, I had a client that never told me that he didn't know about the subject matter. I wrote an awesome paper, but his teacher thought it was far above his skills. That could be a concern. In order to prepare him for the big meeting, I gave him a crash course on the subject matter, where he found the book, and anything else that I knew that would help me to avoid problems. If you paying for another writing to write a paper, most likely, or I'll suggest, that maybe the write has good writing skills.
Not every writer is a quality writer, but if they work for a company and making money, they have to be doing some positive. An instructors that knows that you are unable to produce such work, then they will sense that you are cheating. Make sure that if you plan to pay for a paper, do it at the beginning of a course. An instructors will know when your writing skills change. Turning in average papers at the beginning, then producing A+ quality work after may raise brows. Even with tutoring, making such a drastic improvement over a short amount of time may in fact be because of cheating.
The best tool is to avoid over citing and to analyze a subject. Turnitin.com may provide citing feedback, but it is not going to help you to properly cite a paper. Many writers tend to over cite, which causes them to get into trouble. As a freelance writer, I have never been confronted about plagiarism because I know what instructors require of students.
Think of plagiarism as copy and pasting from the net, sneaking in a quote from a book, turning in a past paper you wrote, improperly citing in APA, MLA, and the worst mistake of all, some students assume that using page numbers are good enough to protect them from plagiarism. i.e. On page 213, the author says this...... That is not the proper way to cite, especially in a a book review.
For APA papers, a student should also write in the third person. Use entity as a way to avoid first person narrative. Cite with Student (2009) notes that "....." (p. 213). Another way "is to use" (Student, 2009, p. 213). Paraphrasing can go as follows: Student (2009) mentions that he is struggling to find a good strategy to prevent plagiarism. Properly analyzing work requires ample reading and further understanding of the subject matter (Student, 2009). If you want to list some numbered points are in found in the book, use the following strategy. Student (2009) shared that medical reform is an issue that President Clinton attempted to present - to a Democrat majority House - as a measure to:
1)
2)
3)
4) (p. 415).
Try to mix of the citing techniques so you don't use too much direct quoting. Use quotes to guide your argument, not as a way to just for fill out space. THink of a quotes like an argument and a disagreement. When another person makes a reference, you respond to them. Well, if you use a quote from an author, respond to it using a personal perception.
The only different between MLA and APA is that MLA uses the author and the page number. No commas after the author's last name. Whenever bringing up the author's name in-text, make sure to use their entire name for first time, then you can just use last name the next time around.
Even though I have extensive experience with APA and MLA, I still look in my writer's handbook to make sure that everything is accurate. Doctors and nurses do the same with the PDR, DSM, and the nurse's drug handbook. Students shouldn't fear plagiarism is they make sure to cite everything and avoid over citing. The only software that I know of, one in which scans for plagiarism is turnitin.com. I have never had any complaints for plagiarism. I have written many papers for PHD clients that have strict teachers that mention plagiarism and threaten students. In the end, I receive exceptional grades for them.
Check out my blogspot website, which I created to help out writers. For the past for years, I have worked for a writing company as a freelance writer; produced hundreds of projects for many diverse students. I have a strong college background as well.
Check out my blogspot website. Leave comments and post some questions. I will do my best to address them. Thank you. Good luck.
