good article.

I know a few people who have gone this route, and not one professor has been able to distinguish between who actually wrote it and the person who put their name on it

That was a very good read. I couldn't imagine spending money for someone to write a paper for me though. There's no learning in that!

That was a good read. Incredible to think there's people out there who have $2000 to throw towards a paper though!

Agreed. I saw that number thrown out and about choked. That's a whole lot of beer money!

My favorite...

"thanx so much for uhelp ican going to graduate to now".


I got accused of cheating by a professor once, but it was because he said there's no way I could get that high of a grade compared to everyone else, without cheating.

To which I replied "hey moron, remember I took that test in your office the day before everyone else because I had a conflict with another class? How did I cheat with you sitting right there next to me?"

That was Physical Chemistry, the teacher was one of the smartest guys, but couldn't teach a lick.

I would punch myself in the face if my job required me to read emails like that on a daily basis.

The funny part was that the professor had forgot that I had taken the test in his office with him right next to me.

of course he did. It was convenient of him to do so. He wanted a chance to play god with another student's degree

Answer to that happening is simple.

"The rest of the class got awful grades because you're an awful teacher. I got good grades because I'm a good student."

Easy as that.

^^^^^

I'll use that one next time. Usually I sit there and let it go in one ear and out the other, but some of these profs need to be put on notice from time to time
