Law students pay website to write essays

A number of students across Australia have paid a Sydney website to write their essays and sit their online tests, paying up to $1,000 for the service.

An investigation by Fairfax Media found the website MyMaster advertised to Chinese international students, claiming to have 100 graduate writers from “prestigious universities in Australia” ready to accept jobs. A poster was found on the back of a toilet door at the University of Technology, Sydney, which read: “Are you racking your brains on your school work? Do you worry about spending $3000 retaking tuition on the failing subject? Leave your worries to MyMaster and make your study easier!”

According to Fairfax Media, the website has turned over hundreds of thousands of dollars since its inception in May 2012. With prices ranging from $13 to $1,050 for plagiarised work, there’s clearly a big demand for its service. One request the site received was for a 6,000 word Human Rights law research assignment from a student at the University of NSW, worth 70% of the student’s overall grade.

It’s thought that students across a number of courses, including philosophy, engineering, economics and law have cheated and produced almost 1,000 plagiarised assignments. However, the chief exec of Universities Australia, Belinda Robinson, said that it was “a small minority of students seeking an easy path to success”.

Robinson, said that “students caught deliberately attempting to pass others’ work off as their own can be subject to harsh sanctions… including automatic failure…and… expulsion”. The website has now been taken offline.
