There is now a growing tendency to outsource your homework to other people and other countries. Although it has been going for a long time but now due to the easy accessibility of the internet, students can easily find their assignments either done by other people or they just download outright from the internet from the various sites that have sprout up to cater to the mostly American Students.
Instead of using their brains and work hard to do the essays, due to many reasons the students find it convenient to either download ideas or whole essays from the internet or just outsource their assignments to third world countries where there is need for the money and have the time to cater to this growing American audience. I am not saying that all students indulge in this practice but it is growing which is just a shame.
The reasons may be many for this growing tendency like students may be hard pressed for time, trying to take on too much course load, partying till the last minute or just easy availability of the subject matter that they are looking for which is ready made. I am also a student and I do go on the internet to research stuff but you know I feel more enjoyment giving my two cents than to have other people give theirs about a topic which they don’t know anything about. Even if they know the topic they would not know how I will be able to present it or articulate it in my own words. And now due to this tendency there sites where the professor can just screen the essay or assignment to find out that if that is really the students or just downloaded off the internet.
So my words to the students or anybody who have been assignment a topic to write about something, try to write in your own words even if you are short of time, because if you get caught then it will be more than embarrassment that you will encounter.
