Buy assignments online - take the easy way out
October 9th, 2006
Last year, my blog had an entry on how the internet is making us smarter and now its time to write about how the internet saves us from using our brain.
There are many websites online like http://customresearchpapers.us/, http://thepaperexperts.com/ and http://termpaperrelief.com/ that sell term papers for about $15 a page. There are many students who choose this path and there have been reports that most students get caught for plagarism because the papers they buy off these websites have been submitted and published before.
From Yahoo:
Some 37 percent of undergraduates admit to copying portions of their research papers from the Web, up from 10 percent in 1999, according to a 2006 poll of 60,000 U.S. college students by Donald McCabe, a professor of management and global business at Rutgers University, in Newark, New Jersey. Three percent admitted to downloading and submitting entire papers and 77 percent of students did not consider copying material off the Internet to be a serious issue.
“It’s so prevalent, it’s so easy, it’s so anonymous,” said McCabe.
How would you fight this?

Happy Halloween! I’m trying to post again, it wouldn’t take comments before…
Come by and hear a true ghost story that happened to me over 13 years ago.
I sure wish this would have been available back when I was in highschool. However, I don’t want my teenager getting a hold of it!
There are online services and some premium software that allows professors to submit/upload the work of students to a database that works on those papers and checks to see if anyone was copied. Some professors hae been doing that here in California at big universities.
