Why Write Your Own Essay?

... when you can go to an interesting web site called:

http://www.ukessays.com/

They claim to be:

"The original provider of custom written academic work"

and their proud boast is that:

"Every year we deliver over 10,000 custom written pieces of work to students just like yourself who are looking for a little extra help to boost their grade. With the cost of university study increasing in the UK we know how important it is to make the most of your studies and get the grade you need to kick-start your career.Our passionate team is dedicated to improving your university learning experience by helping you achieve more with your essays, dissertations and coursework. We offer a wide range of services including our premier custom essay and dissertation writing services, a comprehensive marking service and a wide variety of other services to help you succeed in your studies."

Is using an Essay Writing Service cheating? - that's a question you may well ask yourself and, fortunately ukessays.com provide us with their answers, indeed they devote a page to addressing the matter.

However their assurances as to the legality of their service comes with the following caveat:

"(Is using custom essay writing ever cheating?) Yes, if you try to pretend that the work is your own, but that is also true if (without a correct reference) you copy from, or paraphrase, a textbook or get a friend to write for you (which often happens)."

Their prices start at £100 but I would imagine the average price to be well in excess of that and beyond the reach of most students. Fortunately they also have a free repository of "over 3000,000 free essays" but they remind anyone who may use any of the free essays to reference them correctly to www.ukessays.com.

It might be useful to state that I do not know of anyone who has used any of these services and also that I have no intention of accusing anyone of using these services.
