Out-sourcing term papers online

I'll tell you the verdict right up front, so you can pass it on to any student you know: Don't do it, people! As tempting as it might be to have the likes of Term Paper Relief or Superior Papers do their work for them, they'd be paying good money for dreck, the New York Times found. The Times got an English professor to look at one out-sourced paper, and his response was that if he were "confronted with such a paper from one of his own students … he probably wouldn’t grade it at all but would instead say 'come see me' (shuddering at the prospect)." I suspect the student, too, would be shuddering.
