Today I ordered my first essay (well actually it was an assignment). The time frame I gave the company was 2 weeks and much to my surprise my assignment was completed in only a few hours.

Revision GuideI was very excited that my first experience was going so well, that is until I read my assignment.

I'm not particularly fussy, I did not expect a word document oozing academic perfection, I did however expect that the writer would have stuck to the 'criteria' of using sources from my country. Another expectation I had was that the assignment would actually make sense.

For example, an excerpt.

"Since, the article has also been drafted keeping in purpose the targeted audience and then using the proper media to communicate with them will ensure that there is maximum satisfaction and the targeted audience is appealed."

I'm unsure of how to go about getting a rewrite of the assignment because as a whole it just doesn't make sense. I really don't want to be rude, difficult or fussy in any way. I don't want the writer to get in trouble or fined or fired, but I really hope that somehow I can get the assignment that I paid for.

I requested a revision and was asked to point out which parts don't make sense and the writer would revise these parts. How do I point out, kindly, that the whole thing just isn't right? Is such a reply to my revision request justified and normal under these circumstances?

Thank you for the advice. I received my revision and although it's much better than the original, it's still not quite up to the standard I expected. It seems more like something I would have written when I was 16. I have since done the assignment myself and feel much better about it now. Hopefully in the future I have better 'luck' finding a good writer/company, after all it is a learning experience (well, not so much 'learning' when you're paying for assignments).

In fairness to EGR, gumtree is the Australian version of Craigslist. Unfortunately :)

Apparently a revision to correct sentences that do not make sense in the English language is code for 'write my assignment so simple that I sound like a child'.

Oh well, evidently this happens to a lot of us.

Essay Services / ozessay.com.au Big mistake! [22]

ozessay.com.au, from my one experience, are a complete waste of time and money. The spelling and grammar are terrible and in general, the finished product (even after revisions) just did not make sense at all. What a waste of $80.

She/he had a tendency to write the start of a sentence with 'Since, the purpose is to make the...." continually throughout the essay. I'm not sure if 'Since' was supposed to be 'Hence' or 'Therefor', but she did it at least three times.

From what I have gathered, I believe ozessay.com.au are a site owned by another site on the DND list and from some non English speaking country. Probably Ukraine or India/Pakistan. Wish I had of done my research first.

I tried a site that was suggested to me, from the recommended services above. I have only used them for one assignment so far (I received the completed assignment this morning) and it was absolutely fantastic. A bit more expensive than some of the other essay services I have looked at, but I would say that it's definitely worth it. Hopefully the next assignment I request from them will be as good as the first. From what I can tell they are definitely in Australia with an Australian bank account and phone number.

John Mill, I'm not meaning to discriminate against foreign writers and I don't particularly care if my writer is Australian or not. What I do care about is that my assignment makes sense.

I'm sure there are plenty of fantastic writers in the Philippines and other countries, however, my particular writer was not fantastic.

I also agree somewhat (well a lot actually) with WritersBeware in regards to ESL writers. Mainly due to the fact that it's almost impossible for a great ESL to get their writing skills up to par with a great EFL writer. An ESL person/writer has to translate their thoughts in their native language to English. This is a process which allows for more errors than someone who 'thinks' in English and writes in English. The person is always going to be a better writer in their native language. Now that's not to say there aren't a ridiculous amount of crappy English speaking writers, I've just had many conversations with my Philippino friend about how the whole translation process in her head works. She's an amazing accountant though, fantastic with numbers.
