Watchdog for College Essays
by Ysolt Usigan
Tattletaling just got cool. EssayFraud.org, a Web-based organization that lets students publish complaints about fraudulent term paper and essay sites. With "Stop plagiarism now!" as its tagline, the site puts research companies in the know about college paper scams and plagiarism.
Students and professors give them the heads up on sinister college paper-selling that promise students faux "well-done" papers, in turn protecting them -- both as buyers (you know, for when you read sample papers to model your actual
college essays
) and for writers whose college essays may have been ripped off.
The site houses a bulletin board of complaints and a list of warning signs. To tattletale or just read up on the issue, visit www.essayfraud.org.
