IT Students Contract Out Coursework To India
An anonymous reader writes "Students studying computing in the UK and US are outsourcing their university coursework to graduates in India and Romania. Work is being contracted out for as little as £5 on contract coding websites usually used by businesses. Students are outsourcing everything from simple coursework to full blown final year dissertations. It's causing a major headache for lecturers who say it is almost impossible to detect." The irony, of course, is that if they actually get jobs in the sector, this will be how they actually work anyway.
I know ettiz was talking about a desert, but I was making sure nobody thought that it was a joke based on a misspelling by the OP.
Mexican: Si, I wrote my essay back in mexico.

There is no "I disagree" mod for a reason. Flamebait, Troll, and Overrated are not substitutes.
"You need only look at the average income of an American over the last 100 years to see that when you make more money your quality of life goes up."
And as average income has shot up, likewise the value of the dollar has dropped and taxes have increased. The amount of money you make simply represents how much you produce. To make more money requires producing more. Any increases in production over the last 100 years are likely attributable to technological advances, not to some arbitrary wage floor introduced in the '30s.
"More people today are making more money and enjoy a much higher quality of life than my grand parents did during the depression."
And you need look no further than government manipulation of the economy for the cause.
