As long as there has been graded education, there has been cheating. It’s part of human nature. And as long as there has been the internet, cheating has gotten a whole lot easier. But the old days of paying for an essay or a paper? Forget about those. How about paying for an entire class grade?
Many sites across the internet offer many similar options. But how much do they cost? One site quotes prices ranging from $95 for a simple paper up to $695 for graduate level courses. Most other sites don’t list prices, but provide quotes (which have been reported at almost $1,000). The people running these sites justify their actions in a number of ways, but most say its to save time or help students with classes they just can’t grasp (such as accounting and other number-related courses).
While the internet has brought us many wonderful things, including online classes and the ability to study on your own time at your own pace, it has also brought a much darker side. And with reviews of these sites mixed at best and some people are calling them an outright scam, an important question is raised for perspective clients. Would you rather do the work yourself or pay for the class AND the service, wind up failing anyway and having to do it all over again?
I like your facts and statistics.
