Has anyone ever used a site like this before? They write a term paper for you, on any subject that you need.
When I took my English class they scanned it through software known as Writepoint. It searches for common grammatical errors, wouldn't surprise me if they used plagiarism software as well. You WILL get caught if you use these types of services. My education is too valuable to me to waste it taking a gamble like that.
Does your school have a writing tutoring center? They will help you improve your writing skills. Also our community college requires everyone to take English 111 (unless you transfer an equivalent class from another school). They practically hold your hand through the writing process, even giving you a chance to rewrite each paper except the final one. If you have problems with APA format, see your school's librarians. The librarians at our school are a wonderful help. Some of them even teach English classes, so they are a great reference point. If you are going to go further in school, then you need to get comfortable writing, so do what you can to improve. As other people have said, using someone else's work is NOT the answer.
then i highly recommend you get yourself down to the writing center at your school....i'm going to take a guess that you have not had any english in college so maybe you need to look into a remedial course...taking someone else's work and representing it as your own regardless if it is one paper or one sentance can get you in big trouble.....seek help
i didn't know that this was considered a bad thing. i guess i'll have to write the term paper on my own. but i have never done good on a term paper before in my life. the highest grade i ever got was a c-. there is always something wrong with it.
Not only NO but heck no! One I wouldn't cheat myself and limit my capabilities by doing it - and yes I mean that. Nursing school is hard, and it's hard for a reason. Two - my sister is an English professor, they know all about all of these sites. Three I've been the person approached to write a term paper for someone else. I wouldn't do that either, there are lots of places to go for help with term papers, and almost every college has a writing center to do this.
I know that this life ain't easy for any of us, but cheating is quite possibly one of the most despicable things you can do to your fellow students as well as yourself.
I didn't know this would be considered plagirism. I thought the website would give you a paper with the proper references..the only thing is that you had someone else do the assignment for you. There are even people who you can charge to write your paper for you. I didn't know this would get me kicked out of school. I don't want that to happen
plagiarism, in its most basic definition, is using someone-elses work and turning it in as your own.
In order to turn in that paper, you would have to put your name on it. But, if you didnt write it, you are taking credit for work that was not yours. Which, is in turn plagiarism.
The website will give you a paper with references, but again, you didnt write the paper.
Can you honestly think that paying someone to write a paper for you, and you putting your name on said paper, is ok? How is that being honest?
I too, suggest you visit the writing center at your school if you are unable to effectively write your own term paper.

How did you make it through high school without knowing that this was wrong. It is purely common sense, it is not your work or thoughts, therefore it is cheating. People that charge to write papers for you are as guilty as you are and 99% of the time they reuse papers over and over. This can not be the first time you have heard of this
Sometimes schools have a "weird" view on what constitutes cheating vs what doesn't.
At my school...and this is stupid. Let's say you took an English class and did a paper on a topic, got an A on it...but failed other aspects of the class and had to take it over.
If you turned that same paper back in...they say that's cheating...I don't agree...if it's your own work, it's not cheating.
I actually have about three topics that I use for papers in my classes..that I update periodically and turn them in over and over again for classes. I repeat the research portion because some of the information does change...however, the paper is still mine.

hmmm how far into your course are you exactly?
Im pretty sure they will have mentioned something about plagerism in class as it is a massive issue
Our papers are electronically submitted by us through 'Turnitin'- we can only submit our papers to be marked by our lecturer if we get 15% or less from 'turnitin'. This 15% margin takes into account common phrases and words used.
