Time to cut & paste the homework?

I saw this company advert on Facebook and I had one of the 'head in hands' moments as I pondered to myself "how can you tell if someone has gained a university degree by genuine hard work?"

On the positive side, my lad's going to Oxford this year so it's a chance for him to make a few quid I guess!

It is very sad when people do that sort of thing, I don't understand why, it's not like when you get to work you can keep asking them for help...

I do know a fellow who used one, it wasn't a badly written essay, though it did not accurately answer the stated question, it looked like it was answering a similar question and the author couldn't be bothered to change it enough though if it was changed I reckon it was a 1st. Though the teacher never picked up on how a guy who couldn't compare two cases last week, and was a 45-55% type of chap, was suddenly submitting a high 2:1 paper, written in a way he never did... Can anyone guess what country he was from.... For bonus marks......

Oh, and if you get found out, in theory you are out the door, no Uni degree for you.

Shouldn't they be closed down?

I think closing the universities down would be a bit of a kneejerk reaction.
