I’ve raised the question of ethics before and don’t wish to go into it in too much detail again today. Nevertheless, with so many different ways of getting essays and research papers it can be hard to decide what’s beneficial, what’s rubbish and what’s outright wrong. From a student’s point of view, like it or loath it, there are three main ways of getting essays, term papers or dissertations from the internet and some are ‘better’ than others.

Your first option as a student is to use a free site. These free essays are often poorly written and have already been used by millions of students around the world. All you need to do is download an essay of your choice but most likely you will end up having to add in some of your own research to answer the topic for your own paper. Don’t hand a paper in from a free site without thoroughly checking and rewording it. A free paper is no substitute for a custom essay and this will be spotted immediately.

Your second choice is to buy a pre-written paper: this means you will not be able to choose a specific custom essay topic. This is no good if you need a term paper on a very particular question. And often these sites do not measure up. Many have reported buying a pre-written paper and receiving a failing grade.

Finally, you can use a custom essay writing service, this is undoubtedly the best way to be sure you will have a quality paper that will get accepted by your professor. These are pretty much guaranteed to be ready on time as a professional will write the custom essay specifically according to your own unique topic. At the website Exclusive-Essays.com, for example, only qualified professionals and experts write excellent essay examples, providing you with a reliable 100% confidential service. When it comes to academic ‘shortcuts’, there is little better than using a custom essay writing service to create a high-quality, non-plagiarised custom essay. Downloading such a paper from a free site, or even paying for a pre-written one is academic suicide. I do the grading and believe me kids; we can spot such stuff in an instant. If you’re a student and you’re going to take this course of action, use a custom essay writing service to ensure you get the best grades possible.

For students who have decided on a custom written essay; it can become overwhelming to choose the right company. There are so many companies who offer the same services and the biggest difficulty can be finding the right company. There are so many respectable sites who offer professional and expert writers, but how do you know where to start? Many thousands of students try to cope with the imperfection of the educational system, while we as academics may not fully agree with the ethics of such services, they can provide a useful source of inspiration for those students who struggle with this aspect of academic life.

What is a custom essay?

Tradition demands I should start a quick definition: A custom essay is a paper written by a professional essayist who is paid to write but who doesn’t receive any credit for it. In the case of a custom essay, it is custom for the reason that it has been written to the student’s exact essay question. Such an essay should be differentiated from the pre-written essay obtained from essay banks, an earlier form of this business. These types of essay samples are past essays contributed by students, either in exchange for part of the sale proceeds or in exchange for access to other pre-written essays. These will be essays written in answer to a particular topic and therefore not custom term papers, written to the student’s particular essay question.

Alternatively, getting another student to write your paper for you is one of the oldest cheats in the book. This could be in exchange for cash, drugs, sexual favours (don’t laugh) or, if the student is a weakling, as a result of violent threats. I’ve been doing this job for a few years now and believe me, these things all happen.

Where on Earth did custom essays come from and how do such services work?

In modern times, a customer orders their essay on the internet, usually through an essay company’s website. The Company then sends out the order to their panel of writers and those writers who are in a position to complete the project put themselves forward to do the work. The Company usually seeks payment from the customer at this juncture. When the customer pays, the Company picks the writer they think is best suited to the project and tells them to start. These custom term papers is delivered on the agreed day.

Is it ethical to use a custom essay service?

This is the big question. Arguably, to use the service alone is not cheating. Take, for example, a lecturer who sets a nice easy essay question: ‘Who was George W. Bush and where did it all go horribly wrong?’ Most students will use Google to search for initial information on this topic and they will find some fifty million answers to their question. The process of reading through these answers is not cheating. On the other hand, if the student takes one of the answers and hands it in, passing it off as their own work, then without doubt, they are being deceitful.

In fact, there are many more intelligent ways they could use their material to cheat, such as rewording a website they’d found, rearranging the words, citing the source but relying too heavily on the bits and pieces, and so on. They could also use the material as a guide and inscribe their own, original answer to the question. Likewise, a student who orders a custom analytical essay, for example, can use the essay as a guide and can write their own unique answer to the question that has been set for them. They can, conceivably, even do their own research. So, where do you draw the line?

How do students profit from custom essays?

Universities are often cited as saying that when a student orders a custom essay, they are being lazy because all the work is being done for them. However, the earlier example of using Google shows that there are times during the research process when the student will come across what they think is the right answer. However, this does not mean they have to duplicate the answer word for word, neither does it mean that what they have found is the ultimate answer and they are supposed to stop researching. If a student takes a custom essay and uses the sources to read up on a subject, and to help them generate more sources and a superior level of understanding, then the custom essay is just a stepping-stone to something greater. It is an example – a template, if you like – for students to see how the question could be dealt with – but after doing their own research, the student could well think that there are far better ways of dealing with the query.

When is using a custom essay service really cheating?

A problem that is often discussed is that not all students who use custom essay services will use the service openly, honestly or in the spirit in which they are intended to be used. Some, most perhaps, hand in the essay without doing any work themselves. When custom essays are analysed in this context, they really are helping students to cheat and therefore reduce the value of a university education. Honest students, who do their own research and writing, are angry to know that their counterparts have completed the same degree, gained a better mark than them without having lifted a finger for themselves; this is cheating and just ain’t right.

Why are custom essays still permissible then?

Custom essays are legal, just as the model answers that lecturers give out are officially permitted. Question and Answer books are also above-board and, on occasion, the questions in those are very, very close to the questions set for essays and for exams. The notion of these resources is that they are used as guides; they are not to be copied word for word without any other research being done.

We should therefore remember that there are many things that are open to misuse that are still legal. All these things have a use, as do custom essays. However, because the custom essay industry arose from somewhat shady beginnings, people have not been educated properly in their use and therefore they do use them to deceive. This decent into quandary is further hastened by the fact that a huge number of essay companies are happy to let their customers just hand in the work and don’t offer any guidance on how it should be used. Additionally, because the work is customised, it’s difficult for teachers to detect that the student is cheating.

So… to use or not to use?

Ultimately, the answer to this dilemma is a matter of your own opinion; if you’re planning on using a custom essay service to cheat, then it’s likely you’ll be caught. That’s right boys and girls, your professor will often have the experience to pick out a dodgy essay in a matter of seconds. The fact that the essay is ostensibly an original piece of work is no protection from your lecturer’s keen eye and if you’ve not done your research, you could be caught out when asked difficult questions about the content or the sources you’ve read. If you’re planning on using the custom essay properly, it can work as an extraordinary piece of research to use as a starting point for your own work.

Nevertheless, don’t forget that there are many dishonest websites out there; make sure you know where they’re based and ensure they are genuine, or you’ll end up paying a lot for something you could have found on Google for free.

Moreover, when it comes to insecure students who are writing essays, term papers, or research papers for school or college, they may find that they have way too much to say and are swamped by excessive and unnecessary research. A model essay provided by a professional custom writing service can guide a student through the complex research and writing process with less frustration and more control over their situation. A custom essay also improves students’ ability to plan, organise, and format their document in a professional manner, regardless of an individual tutor’s writing values or any inconsistency in the instructions they received in class.

Let’s face it, during any given academic year a student probably has at least a dozen classes that require the completion of a writing assignment including essays, term papers, research papers, coursework, and maybe even their dissertation. Any professional institution will rightly demand that these be the work of the student. So, what are the positives of a student utilising custom essay services, then?

A custom term paper or essay also enables a student to receive timely quality academic assistance specifically on their given writing assignment. Written professionally, essay structure and the flow of thought throughout a custom paper can be utilised by students when writing their own essay. With shrewd help from an essay writing company, a student can concentrate on their own study and preparations instead of wasting time on small issues such as punctuation. Because a student can compare a professionally written custom essay with their own work, a custom essay may be used as a guide to avoid making elementary mistakes. A custom essay also helps a student to expand their own essay writing skills, as they get an opportunity to recreate a complete picture of the essay writing process in their mind and understand how the different parts of an essay interact with each other to create a full and complete proficiently written paper.

When writing a college essay, a student is almost always required to follow a specific format requested by the tutor. The situation gets even more diverse when there are no established requirements for essay writing in the institution. Instead, every tutor concocts their own guidelines: the writing philosophy varies from tutor to tutor. Instructions and requirements bewilder college students, while their writing styles have to be adequately adjusted every time a tutor changes. Through experience I know this is a regular occurrence when a student wants to receive adequate grades for their essay writing. When it comes to dissertation writing, a student must handle a colossal amount of research: a practical and timely essay writing tip from a custom writing service could save a whole lot of time and futile effort. As such, a model essay that sets students right at the spot and contains formatting and style adjustments, as requested by their tutor, not only simplifies the essay writing process but also saves time, and improves the general understanding of the writing process itself. Choosing to buy essays from writing services therefore provides a student with the necessary model to follow and guide their pattern of thinking.

All comments on this subject are, as ever, eagerly awaited.
