>Being judged incapable of producing your own work BURNS.

Or you could take it as that you are so much better than your class mates that your work stands out as being exceptional. This is a huge complement.

I used to be a professor and I can tell you plagiarism is rampant. When a student hands in a work that is far above their peers you are suspicious. I would never accuse a student of cheating without evidence, but I have asked many about their work to ascertain if they had actually produced the work themselves. In every case where I was suspicious (around 20), the person did not have the slightest clue about what they had supposedly written. Professors are cynical for a reason.
