I came across a wonderful little website ‘flashpapers,’ I would link to it in the post but I don’t want to be connected with them in any way. This website claims it will give you a fully customized paper just in time for finals!
I’m sure this is an expanding market, where teams of highly educated outsourced third world employee’s labour away to give Johnny or Lucy a paper just in time for finals. But, the risk of being charged with plagiarism or academic fraud far outweighs the gains. I’ve been offered extravagant amounts of money to write papers and pass students as a teaching assistant and lecturer. In my college tutoring business I’ve also been offered money from my own students to just ’solve their paper problem’. Each time I’ve refused, first because it is fundamentally wrong and second because of the possible ramifications.
What happens when you are caught cheating
Although I’m sure most university students all get that flyer at the beginning of the semester outlining what plagiarism is and why it’s wrong, the majority of students don’t actually know what happens to you if you are caught plagiarizing. I’ll start by defining how plagiarism is confirmed. Other than using software which can scan papers for plagiarized content which is illegal in some schools, there are three steps.
