For me, it was one way I didn't mind bucking the system and I got paid at the same time. We all have our own comfort levels. |

| So would you mind if your students paid others to do their work? |

It wouldn't be my favorite thing, but I won't be a hypocrite. If that's the way they want to go, then that's their decision. It's their education, not mine. |

Out of curiousity, were the papers word-processed, or did the students rewrite the papers in their hand-writing ?
Just thinking that forcing students to hand-write them should ensure they at least read what they are handing in, even if someone else wrote it. |

Both APA and MLA style papers require them to be typed. I have never seen a college paper handwritten here in the States since we have specific rules to follow when doing papers. |

Thanks for clarifying.
I suppose one day we will have biometric sensing, or every document has a video attachment of the person typing it in, as proof of work.
Orwellian ... |

 That might be one way of doing it. |

| They should have a Megan's Law for such cheats - with online maps and photos of those who could potentially put others lives and welfare at risk through their deviant behaviour! |
