If your goal if to become a great product to employers/colleges who target graduates from your school, then this is excellent. You understand how the real world works before you've even joined. You can pay someone to do this essay for you and spend the next 4 weeks trying to make more money than you paid for the essay. That's what school prepares you for, how to obediently deliver other people's work - and they don't care how you do it, as long as you do it. If you wanted to work at Goldman Sachs and told them this story, they would honestly be impressed even if they wouldn't say it. I wish I was being sarcastic. You can be all altruistic and honor the rules, but that won't get you anywhere. Now if you're actually interested in education, then probably still pay someone to do it and use these 4 weeks to learn as much as you can about the subject by yourself.
Seriously . . . . when I was IN college. . .this would have been a daunting task but In recent years I have beening a position where I had to do this for a class and it was no where near as hard I mean now you got internet!!! Find you about 5~10 quotes Document them The ramble for about 10-13 pages. . . Rocket River
Truth! The amount of things I have done in college... If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, tbh.. My turnitin papers with a <1% match, yet the entire thing is copied type stuff.
This is pretty much what I did throughout college. The paper itself isn't difficult, but getting to start writing is almost impossible. If you can master the art of "start writing" you will get by easily.
I agree. I was going to post something along the lines of how the OP would do great in corporate America since you don't really have any innovative ideas to climb the corporate ladder, but rather just stick around, not screw up, not make any real enemies, and produce consistent work on time. I worked over in high finance in NYC years ago, and this was the exact mindset seen at many of the banking jobs. It's what the real world is about versus what is the right or proper thing to do.
My take is education is not "real-world". There should be some institutions that should be held to a higher moral standards. Education, healthcare, civic servicemen (cops, govt, etc.) are some of them. Personal story, my friend like a leashed dope helped his ex-gf cheat on quite a bit of her medical courses and exams. She would not have gotten through had he not figured out clever ways to cheat for her numberous times. Now she is an anesthesiologist somewhere (chosen because it's high pay and less work) and likely not a competent one at that. For all you people advocating it's ok to cheat, would you be ok with her being your anesthesiologist next time you go under the knife? What's particularly sad to me in this scenario is that there is someone who worked hard but was honest and therefore didn't get her spot in medical school. The "it's ok because it's real-world" mentality of some posters is the type that makes society worse off.
Obviously this doesn't apply everywhere. Especially when your class of choice has nothing to do with your major at all. Like some freshman level general ed. courses. However, in OP's case you are right since he's in grad school.
The "real world" is to lie and cheat your way to the top? If that's the case, I don't care if I stay at the bottom. I'm going to work hard and actually have integrity. Those of you who advocate for cheating and lying: do you feel fulfilled when you do so? For the OP, you have a month to do a 10-15 page paper. I'm lucky if I start a few days in advance, but it really isn't that hard. Do your work, and quit being lazy. If you get overwhelmed and can't manage time well, I would wager you won't do well in the "real world."
People cheat like crazy in graduate school. Its pretty ridiculous. She must at least figured out how to pass the boards.
Yes, you can cheat in medical school, but there is virtually no way of cheating on the USMLE board exams. So your anesthesiologist friend has to have some brains to score well enough on the board exams to get that residency position.
It's like you completely missed the point of my post. Anyways, my last post in this thread; dont think arguing edu ethics will mean much here.
turnitin checks for plagiarism, referencing past sources from the internet or files that have been previously submitted. the lower your match percentage, the less it looks like you copied others' work and the more original your work appears to be. it checks for verbatim plagiarism, sentence structure, etc...
Your integrity is admirable, but it doesn't match your moniker. I think we may have some cognitive dissonance going on here.
