That is it, I'm moving to a 90% exam based grading structure. I guess it was only a matter of time, really... Love the bit about 'plagiarism free' solutions.

Oh, there are quite a few operations out there like that. Have been for years. And, as with the rest, this one is undoubtedly telling the literal truth. What they are supplying is not plagiarized. The plagiarism doesn't occur until the idiot that pays them for the paper turns it in as their own.

Students that shell out money for these papers don't understand that. They will be quite upset when you nail them to the wall for plagiarism. They figure that if they paid for it they own it--it's theirs. No. Just because you bought a copy of Moby Dick doesn't mean you can turn it in as your work. Once they get past being angry with you, they'll move on to being angry with the company, wanting to demand their money back. Nope. The company will be able to show that no one on their end committed plagiarism. They kept their end of the bargain.

Consider it a surcharge on cheaters. A sort of "learning tax", if you will.

The existence of operations like these is proof positive that there are too many people in college.

Anyone fit for college wouldn't bother to pay for this crap, and while there will always be a few people who squeak in, there should NOT be enough to support an industry.

But the real shame is how many graduate students and even adjuncts are probably employees of these operations.  Hey, why not?  Make money for designing the test and grading it... make money for answering it.  If the student is going to treat it as a joke... why not make the joke on him?

One of our daughters worked for KGB Answers (http://www.kgbanswers.com/) for a while. They loved her, but she quit a few months after becoming a mommy. She told me that many of the questions she and her subordinates (she supervised a bunch of other agents) got were homework questions from high-school kids and college students willing to pay--or let Daddy pay--for answers and too lazy even to plagiarize something from the Internet. Why copy and paste something from Wikipedia when you can pay someone else to copy and paste for you?

Where I work, we all routinely get plagiarized homework. If our students had more money, I'm sure many would buy homework from services such as Transtutors.

The only students I've known who used these custom "help" and writing services were at an elite university, with plenty of money and plenty of SAT points.  They could have done the work themselves; they chose not to.  My students can't afford to spend the money, so they cheat in other ways.

Some students will cheat if they think they can get away with it.  Some people will cheat on their taxes if they think they can get away with it.  It's a behavior influenced by cost, benefit, and risk, not particular to an era or a social class or an academic level.  Part of the job of teaching is making it hard for people to get away with it.

Plagiarism is rampant all over the country. It's one reason I've decided to just teach developmental classes. Aside from the fact that I really like teaching developmental, they don't cheat much. Grading papers in literature classes got to be such a chore--I spent half my time googling phrases to see what popped up, and usually stuff popped up like crazy.

I agree that such services are pathetic, but I imagine that using them will catch up with students in the end. If you need someone to solve your calculus homework for you, how are you going to solve such a problem on an exam?
