Great quality academic writing doesn't always mean a great grade. If you want a great grade (A- and above), know what the professor expects and mold your paper accordingly. Now, if you want to produce quality writing that pushes your intellectual limits and makes you a better writer, develop a taste for good writing by reading a variety of works, scholarly and non, practice consistently, and edit religiously - by yourself and with others. Hopefully, then, you have a professor or advisor who can appreciate your work even if they disagree with it.
