Are you going to get arrested for it?  Probably not.  Is it against school policy?  Probably so.  Most schools and universities have strict guidelines that specifically state what they consider cheating.  I know for a fact that every college, university and high school I ever attended did state that turning in work someone else completed was considered cheating.  The punishment for this offense at the colleges was immediate dismissal of the student from said institution.  Not to mention that it is completely unethical.  There is a very good chance that you may get caught "cheating" too.  Many colleges actually scan the essay into a database that checks it for similarities between other submitted essays.  This database isn't just from your school either, it's several schools linked together.  It could be 10 or 1000 schools all scanning essay's and comparing yours to the 999 before it.  This goes back to the old saying, honesty is the best policy.  This time being honest may save your education opportunities which will affect the rest of your life.

For your own reading pleasure: LEGAL; to submit as your own work: UNETHICAL(Plagiarism)   In the free market economy, one may legally purchase books or essays for personal reading pleasure. However, if you are going to turn in the "custom essay" as your own work, it is unethical and considered as Plagiarized.   The website, http://www.utoronto.ca/writing/plagsep.html, clearly states the code. "From the Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters: It shall be an offence for a student knowingly:(d) to represent as one's own any idea or expression of an idea or work of another in any academic examination or term test or in connection with any other form of academic work, i.e. to commit plagiarism." There is much more information about "How Not to Plagiarize" on the above link.   Plagiarism can lead to disciplinary hearing and often lead to academic probation or even dismissal from an academic institution or firing from a job.   Most professors get a free service to detect academic cheating called "turnitin.com." Thus, cut & paste from teh Internet is one of the easiest forms of plagiarism to detect and prove.   Here are some bebsites that will provide resources for enhancing your own writing skills: http://library.umd.umich.edu/research/internet/citing.html http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/valid.htm http://www.nutsandboltsguide.com/ http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/workshop/citapa.htm http://www.cln.org/subjects/esl_cur.html   "The only place where 'success' can be found before 'work' is in a dictionary."~ Not my original thought! I heard this years ago and admired the genius who ccame up with this quotation. I did not take the time to locate the original source. Nonetheless, by acknowledging that I didn't coin this sentence and attributing it to that genius, I am within my ethical and moral bounds. If I was using this quote in a formal paper, I would search the author and use "in-text" citation as well as list it in my bibliography formatted in the MLA or APA style.       Sources: Life experience and my moral compass ArtLover101 71 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.

While I?m not a lawyer, I suspect it is legal to sell and buy such essays or they wouldn?t be able to offer their services so openly on the web. Since they are still in business, I can assume you wouldn?t be their first customer.     What you do with the essay once you have it makes all the difference. If, as I must assume, you intend to pass it off as your own work in a course, you would be in violation of the rules of virtually every academic institution in the known world. The legal fraud committed would be against yourself, not the academic institution. Even though you are devaluing the honestly-earned degrees and diplomas of countless others who have attended your institution, I can see no violation of the law. If caught you will doubtless be punished with academic suspension or expulsion. If nothing else you will fail the course. I don?t know of anyone who has been prosecuted for academic fraud.    The plagiarism you are contemplating is widespread in today?s university community. Indeed it has spread to high schools as well. I wish I could say that more of you are caught, but that is not the case. You will most probably get away with it. I hope you will change your mind and write your own essay. Who knows, you might actually learn something in he process!

If it is for a homework assignment, then no, it is not in compliance with the educational rules.   if it is for a business presentation, where you simply need to present information, rather than to demonstrate your essay writing ability, then I see no problem with it.    short answer: put a byline at thebottom, saying that the essay was purchased from the essay writing company.  if for some reason you cannot do that, then you are probably violating some rules.

It depends on how you define legal. Are you going to get arrested for it?  Probably not.  Is it against school policy?  Probably so.  Most schools and universities have strict guidelines that specifically state what they consider cheating.  I know for a fact that every college, university and high school I ever attended did state that turning in work someone else completed was considered cheating.  The punishment for this offense at the colleges was immediate dismissal of the student from said institution.  Not to mention that it is completely unethical.  There is a very good chance that you may get caught "cheating" too.  Many colleges actually scan the essay into a database that checks it for similarities between other submitted essays.  This database isn't just from your school either, it's several schools linked together.  It could be 10 or 1000 schools all scanning essay's and comparing yours to the 999 before it.  This goes back to the old saying, honesty is the best policy.  This time being honest may save your education opportunities which will affect the rest of your life.

Yes, but it may be a violation of your school's code of conduct. Paying someone to write for you is legal.  I think a bigger issue here is that there are situations in which you are only permitted to submit your own work.  Schools generally have a policy stating that the student is to submit his own work and failure to do so may result in a loss in grade and even expulsion.  ACWebMaster 71 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
