I know of two tricks for detecting the students. The first is to look for six or seven heads or tails in a row. Over a hundred tosses, a coin will probably do that, but humans "being random" won't. The other is to look at the page as a sequence of "HHH" and "TT" strings and estimate how many there are. A coin, of course, changes from heads to tails 50% of the time, but a human does it more like 70% of the time.
I'm sure there are other characteristics, too, but those two are sufficient to throw out most human attempts at a glance. It's actually kind of obvious, when you see the two side by side.
Me "being random" with the numpad: 10110101001010010101011010100101011010100101010110101
Computer-generated random: 1101110100000000011111110111011000010001010110011111
See? Here's a few more. Try it.
