Contracting out coursework is not new, I'm afraid. We have had the occasional piece of work appear on rentacoder over the past two or three years, and of course Elizabeth Plagiarism-Hall* has been around for a few years too. Despite what Gillian says, Turnitin doesn't help with this one; the usual mistake is for a C student to submit an A piece of work which they then cannot explain. But if a D student submits D grade work that they can't explain, there tends to be an assumption that they can't explain it very well BECAUSE they are a D student and no suspicion arises. So if you want to cheat, don't be greedy. jamesM *Elizabeth Hall Associates deliver essays, dissertations, research proposals and journal articles; guaranteed high quality, confidential and secure.
