Do any of you know about this web site: http://www.coursework4you.co.uk
I found something very useful there and I was wondering how reliable is it?

Thanks

Two observations -

First of all, if you're a student isn't part of the reason you're there to actually do your OWN work? You may find that if you ever get a job, services offering the 'Do my job for me' function are few and far between....

Also, many universities are now starting to use software in marking electronic submissions that actually check the style and content of the work against what a student has previously submitted. Whether Sheffield does this I don't know.

I did my Honours and Mster's degrees at a time before cheating was a market commodity. Seriously, getting a degree on the back of this sort of service isn't much better, IMO, than buying a degree form the University of Sandy Bottom, Arkansas, via a spam e-mail.

Do the work - you'll learn more, benefit from the learning experience and not risk screwing your career up by cheating.

Yep I agree. If you cheat and don't aquire the knowledge you will wander from job to job. Only lasting the time it takes for you to be 'found out'. Believe me I have seen this in colleagues. They usually end up in a poor job in the end. Probably because employers start to get suspicious of applicants who spend little time at each of their previous positions.

i would never dream of cheating in this way, or cheating in any way for that matter. not only is it dishonest and unsatisfying, it is incredibly stupid if you don't think the unis know about these sites and if you don't think you'll get pulled up for plagerism!

Unfortunaely when i was at school I was forced to cheat on account of the fact that I was incredibly stupid! For some of us it's the only way. It's alright for you egg-heads. :loopy:

Your stupidity (if that's what it was) doesn't justify cheating. Most 'stupid' people I knew at school weren't stupid, just unmotivated or idle.

The kids who had a real problem with learning often worked like dogs to try and catch up. The idle and the demotivated just use to make life difficult for everyone else.

The bottom line is that we're all stupid compared to somebody. I'm not going to try and beat Stephen Hawking in the brains league as far as mathematics is concerned. Neither am I going to lie about my qualifications and then wait to get found out.

BUT . . . . There is a way of being cleverly stupid in order to gain what you want and then stay there.
Check out Michelle in Big Brother or even the film 'The Usual Suspects'. Sometimes it can pay to be abit stupid as long as the clever plan behind the idea runs smoothly.

I used to do an evening class with a bloke who got paid by students at Sheffield University to do their coursework and even dissertations (for thousands of pounds). He was so popular he started recruiting people from the evening class to do the easier essays (only to a pass standard, very easy) in the end he had to stop coming to the class because he was too busy, which was a shame because he was perhaps the cleverest person I've ever met and the discussions went a bit down hill after he’d gone.

Care to elaborate what that 'something' was and why maybe you think there are people here who apart from read minds might actually know what you are on about?

Or as your other 4 posts to this forum have been plugging other sites of a similar ilk I could be very cynical and suspect you are just using this board to advertise your site(s).
Perish the thought of course, but you wouldn't be the first.

What is the point of paying thousands of pounds to go to University just to copy someone elses work? :huh:

There's something quite satisfying in knowing all your hours of reading texts and searching journals has paid off when you get a good mark for YOUR OWN ESSAY.

From I see in day to day work - virtually nobdy actualy fully knows what they are doing these days. Cheat I say - start learning to cheat well now 'cos your going to end up doing it anyway!

And you who claim to have never cheated - if you can honestly say you have no exagurated a bit on your C.V then you have some coffee smelling to do!

I think cheting is not the way you should go. Instead you can use sources to write your own works. for example if you are to buy a ready-made paper from the web site - read it and simply by doing that you'll learn a lot. At the end of the day you can use some information from there - simply "quote" it.

Kilauea,

My CV is damn good and totally honest. I'm good at what I do and people will pay for my services. If I try and bull**** anyone by saying I'm an expert in a field of IT that I'm not, then the first day in the job I crash and burn and that's my reputation down the pan.

How would you feel about having your innards re-arranged by a surgeon who'd cheated? Or flying on a plane designed by a dimbo?

I don't cheat, won't cheat and have acquired my CV and skills through hard work.

After just finishing my first year at uni since 1989 and being the only 30 something year old amongst teens and people in their early twenties I'd say that they need all the help they can get - half of them struggled to do basic arithmetic.

I'm doing a business degree and from day one they said you would need a calculator and that the calculator function of a mobile phone would not be sufficient.

So, ten MONTHS later in the exam, people started pulling out mobile phones! They were rightly confiscated and the muppets just sat there staring blankly at the paper, or just left the exam!

I'd say most of the students don't take education seriously until it is too late...

My dog now has a PhD :)
I am so proud of him.
He's also a revrend of an obscure Church in America.
I'm about to sort him out with a few degrees and an international banking licence next.
He's a great mut - but his breath stinks.
