We should SELL our term papers?!

[missypie]

I noticed an ad on this board, encouraging us to go on to a web site to sell the term papers we got good grades on. Does the DIS have any control over who advertises here?

I was shocked to see that.

No, we shouldn't sell our papers.

 

[Tiggeroo]

as but i really need the extra cash

 

[lulugirl]

Was it an advertisement or just a poster who thought it was a good idea?

 

[ChrisFL]

is giving them away for free better?

I agree -- it's totally not cool.

When you see an ad show up in Google ads that is of questionable nature, please PM one of the webmasters with the information. If it is not something that should be on the DIS we can make sure it gets out of the ad rotation

 

[lulugirl]

Eh, I don't see what the big deal is. If you are opposed to selling term papers then don't sell them

well i know when i tweaked and revised an old highschool term paper to submit for a college class on the same subject i got guestioned by the prof. about why my cited references were 'a bit dated'-so i can't imagine that the stuff i've got from 20 plus years ago would be very marketable now

ROFL....a bit 'dated'

 

[missypie]

Yeah, I think my "cutting edge" paper on Genetic Engineering from 1977 would be a bit dated, too.

It is Google AdSense, it is crawling this page for keywords. Since Term Papers is the main thing in this thread it finds an ad dealing with that.

Thank You for this info. I have been wondering what is going on around here.

 

[Beth76]

That's classic.

This is why we should choose subjects such as dead presidents for papers. Not a lot of new info.

This is all assuming one has old papers laying around that have good grades on them

College professors strongly advise against buying term papers. During orientation, they told parents the same thing they told the students:

Do not buy a term paper. We have search engines that we use to make sure a term paper has not been purchased on line. You will get a zero and go before the judicial board for an honor violation.

Note: at the College of Charleston, they have added a new grade, which reflects that the student has failed the class for cheating. The grade remains a failing grade, but after 2 years the cheating designation is dropped from the transcript if there are no further violations.
