Do students really hand in essays written by others (and not get caught)? |

Hey
I just wanted to comment on the original question. Yes, students do hand this work in but as a former lecturer myself, I think I'd be able to pick out fairly quickly if someone's writing style or standard changed significantly. It's not the best use for these services and you risk getting caught, even if the plagiarism scanner doesn't pick up anything. Really, you don't learn anything and you have to study for your final exams so it's only a temporary solution if you're finding the course hard.
A far better use is to take the essay and use it as a guide. Do your own research, write your own work and use the other writer's work as inspiration. That way, your work will be your own - you haven't cheated, you're still learning and you'll know before handing it in that you're on the right track and likely to get a good grade.

But your company ACTUALLY encourages customers to hand this in as their own work. You fine writers whose work DOES NOT get the student the grade they wanted. I know this from experience. Would you care to explain why you do this IF, as your site states, students are told to use these as guidelines only?

Hi exwriter - customers are asked to verify the quality of the work themselves, not to hand it in. We have a fair use policy on all of our websites that explains how to put the work to good use.
To verify the standard without handing the work in, you could, for example, use a marking service or ask a experienced friend or colleague to look it over. We do have a quality team that reads through everything before we send it out but in any case, if a customer is not happy about the standard, although we'll ask for some specific feedback, we make allowances for the fact that they've come to us for help and often we'll have it graded by another writer who is qualified to a high level in that field. If a customer tells us they've handed it in, we do reserve the right not to deal with them again but moreoften we'll educate them on how to use the service properly.
WB - I enjoy our conversations! :-)

@Jennifer
Again I will ask you the same question
If you claim to be selling model answers not meant for handing in why don't you as the owner of 70 percent of the UK industry act responsibly and give these pieces in to turnitin.com so anyone trying to hand these in can be caught?
and believe me you indeed are promoting plagiarism of a dangerous sort.

mre: Essaytown is a fraud. This message board is a fraud. You are a fraud. Everybody with half a brain can see this. You have failed in your deception, and I hope someday you go to jail with all of the other essaytown crooks. MRE, why do you say essaytown is a fraud? I've been writing for them for 4 years and my clients are very happy. You can test the site out anytime at very little risk by simply ordering a single page essay to see what you get for your money.
