1. There are quite a few reactions on "Slashdot" to this story. You can follow them here:

Some of it may come from the way I've changed giving assignments to students, so that they can't just write a canned paper on a generic topic and hope to do well; they have to address quite specific concerns we've discussed in class and with quite specific readings in mind, and I doubt that a paid-writer could put in enough time for this to be worth it.

Hi, to all of you!Here's an article for those who are wondering about the state of higher education in a way. I'd be very interested to know what others think of this. Do you think this is more, less, or about the same as it has always been?http://chronicle.com/article/The-Shadow-Scholar/125329 Best, Marlena in Missouri
