Essays to order: students warned

Essays to order: students warned :

"'Students have got a lot of incentive to pass, so spending $50 to $100 on an essay may seem cheap. I've heard they charge up to $50 a page. Considering the financial penalties in [failing], $200 for an essay might seem like money well spent.'

A spokesman for federal Education Minister Julie Bishop said students were 'cheating themselves out of a major aspect of a tertiary education' if they handed in fake essays."

It's a free enterprise market economy so there is nothing wrong with making money from whatever you choose. So who doesn't have values? Who cares about education and integrity? The academics who are marking these things are obviously on the ball and must be heartily sick of our free trading of suitable papers. Do I feel exams and viva voce coming on? Confronting it is a good thing.
