The most ironic search term I’ve ever seen on my site recently has to be this phrase:

A free term papers and essays on discuss the importance of integrity in the field of assessment?

Now, I could give the searcher the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were simply researching the issues, but given the shoddy grammar in their search phrase, it’s more likely that they’re some student with an assignment looking for an answer option on their homework. What do you think? Is there any integrity left in homework given how so many of the answers to most questions a teacher might ask are to be found somewhere on teh internets?

There are lots of sites offering term papers and essays, I doubt there are many that give away quality ones for free. Moreover, if you were to use a free paper in an assignment, you can bet your bottom dollar that your teacher will have plagiarism software that can check for duplicate content in your essay on the web, and give you the F you deserved in the first place. A valuable lesson to be learned, perhaps.
