<p>Due to some extenuating circumstances with the small writing class I am in, I ended up with a much poorer grade than I deserve. I dont like to help myself unfairly but theres no way in hell I am not going to turn the odds in my favor a little if they have already been turned against me.</p>
<p>I went to the writing tutoring crap place at my college. They dont do ****. You ask them, how can I improve my paper, they answer "how do YOU think you can improve it." When I say does my transition into my conclusion seem forced they say, "do YOU think its seems forced" </p>
<p>There are ads for writing tutors that cost a fortune of money. Do they pretty much write your paper for you/garuntee a good grade for you? Thats why I did for some rich prick 8th grader when I was a tutor. I need to get an unfair edge to correct the unfairness so is this it?</p>
<p>Just want to say that “the writing tutoring crap place” isn’t there to do your work for you…sorry that you think it sucks, but I work at my school’s writing center and we’re trained to ask you questions, not just tell how to improve your paper and write your paper for you. Though we aren’t told to just ask “how do YOU think you can improve it?” in that way, we do ask questions and ask questions and ask questions, and yes, it does work and does help people improve their papers and become better writers.</p>
<p>Well when I began reading this I thought you WANTED a writing tutor and I was going to offer to help, but I’m not going to help you cheat. Extenuating circumstances do not change the grade you deserve, what you earned is what you earned, and if you’re going to cheat you deserve to fail.</p>
<p>If you didn’t get the grade you deserved, take your paper(s) to the professor and explain why there was a grading error. The grade you get isn’t a measure of you as a person; it’s a measure of your work. In a writing class, you deserve the grade that your writing earns you, just as at a job, you deserve the rating your work earns you. If you have outside factors that affect whether or not you have the opportunity to do your best, well, that’s adulthood. And you seem to have misunderstood the point of tutoring. The writing tutors are doing exactly the right thing, and if you just taught your student how to cheat, then you didn’t do your job.</p>
<p>But yes, there are organizations that make money by doing schoolwork for college students who will then use it to cheat. Quite a few of them promise more than they deliver, and nobody will be too sympathetic when you gripe that the paper you plagiarized (by pretending you wrote it) came up as plagiarized when it was run through Turnitin.com even though you bought it from a group that promised it was personally written just for you, or when you gripe that you were promised you’d get an A- or above but you really only got a C, or whatever. After all, if you deal with them because you want them to help you cheat, you kind of have to expect that they won’t feel too bad if they cheat you.</p>
<p>Even if you do find one that does what it says it will do, the odds are that your paper won’t have the same misspelled words and grammatical errors that your writing characteristically has, and in a small writing class there’s a decent chance that your professor will notice that sort of thing. Whether or not she tries to prove it is another matter. Plenty of professors are completely burned out by having to deal with people who whine about how “extenuating circumstances” meant they didn’t get the grade they “deserved” and decide they are justified in cheating because they didn’t do adequate work on earlier assignments.</p>
<p>You’d be better off spending your time working on your writing than googling for people who can help you cheat, but I don’t expect you to believe anyone who tells you that.</p>
