Instead of passing out that long-winded, two-typed-pages definition of academic dishonesty and its severe consequences, profs should just print this Craigslist advertisement and write DON’T DO THIS in giant red, flashing letters at the top.

Does it really make sense to post an advertisement for an essay-writing service that links directly to an email address? If a professor has any suspicion that a paper was faked, he could track down the culprit pretty easily. Granted, any savvy cheater – ahem, professional essay writer – would create an anonymous email account for the service. But still. Advertising on Craigslist? Just use word-of-moth.

Either way, this post has more than a few comma splices. Anyone who would pay up to $35 per page for an essay chock full of mistakes deserves to be caught.
