As I’ve noted before on this site, the modern university student has a great deal on their plate. With so many non-native English speakers now moving abroad to study in institutions where English is the language of study, the pressure is really on to produce written work that is of an acceptable standard, even though these students are writing in a second language. Many students get extremely anxious about this issue: more and more are falling into the trap of buying a prepared essay from scam or fraudulent online assignment writing services where they order essay and pay the whole money. While I don’t think we should feel sorry for students who seek help with essay writing through cheating and get caught, I think the services themselves need further investigation.
What many students look for in essay writing services are the speed of response to their request and the knowledge and ease of contact with their dissertation writers, who will generally have the necessary expertise in the given essay topic. Most students who take the plunge and decide to buy an essay paper will wrestle with the fact that this is bending the rules of academia, but having taken the initial step will then find it easier to do so subsequently.
After getting an essay written once, many then prefer hiring online writers to write essays. The fact that this is hassle free and, in the ‘best’ cases, completely customized, students feel safe in the choice of buying their way to success with online essay writing services. The high quality product and timely delivery of many online services, which can start at as little as $10 per page, mean that this is now a real part of academic life. What our profession now needs to look at is why students are choosing this path and not doing the work themselves. How can we ease the burden and make their studies more manageable?
