Essay writing services

Just don't painted on the side of a brick building

 

Student life can be VERY stressful- we know. You’ve paid a lot of money, invested a lot of time and you want to get out of here with something to show for it. You have a lot of deadlines, a lot of responsibilities and something’s got to give. 

 

But (and we’re going to shout this, because it is important):  

DO NOT USE ESSAY WRITING SERVICES TO DO YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.  

What’s the point? You won’t learn anything. You won’t have achieved anything apart from lining the pockets of some very dubious individuals, and you will, ultimately, get caught. Submitting an assignment written by someone else is cheating. CHEATING. Sorry, shouting again. 

 

You are asked to complete assignments to show off what you know. If you’re having difficulties, there are people who can assist you.  

And when you’ve finished your assignment through your own hard graft, you’ll have achieved something. 

 

The consequences for submitting an assignment written by someone else can be great. It’s actually a criminal offence to provide, or advertise paid cheating services, so you’re dealing with criminals from the start. When you’re caught, you fail the module. You’ll have to pay upwards of £1,156 per 15 credits/ £2,312 per 30 credits to retake the module, and even then your grade will be capped at a D-. And your overall degree will drop a classification, so that 2:1 you’ve been aiming for becomes a 2:2. It can affect your professional accreditation if you need one for your chosen career. There are even examples of students being blackmailed or threatened with exposure for using these services. It turns out, these are not scrupulous people to deal with.

 

So if anyone approaches you offering essay writing services (often dressed up as “assignment support” or "sample essays"), ignore them. You can report anyone approaching you to the SU. If they are on UW property, report to security. But write your own essays. Use the guidance available to help you write your own essays. Cheating is taken very seriously at UW and going through the Academic Integrity system because you’ve bought an essay is not a pleasant process. Essays mills promise the earth, but they will actually cost you your degree.
