Web sites for college cheating aren’t known for their subtlety, but the ad that ran last week on Madison’s craigslist couldn’t have been more blatant if it was marked with a bull’s- eye.
“Let us do your Homework, College Assignments, Quizzes, Papers,” the banner headline read, and then below that in smaller type: “Pay Us To Do Your School Work.”
When contacted by the State Journal, Randy Clary of QualityTutor.com acknowledged that his ad was an invitation to plagiarism, an academic offense that can get students expelled from many colleges and universities, including UW-Madison. He promised to remove it the next day – and did – but insisted the service he offers is about helping students learn through things such as online discussions with qualified tutors and interactive problem solving, not letting them cheat.
