Please, come off it. The student seeks out a writer to plagiarize for him/her. They are guilty of plagiarism. What a cop out to say that the student doesn't commit plagiarism; the writer does. The students attempted to cheat, to submit someone else's work as their own. The student and the person he or she pays to write the essay are equally guilty. The student's intent is to cheat.
When the students asks someone else to do a paper for them --whether they pay for the paper or not--and the students put their name on it and purport that it is their own original work, they are plagiarizing. How dare you take a moral high ground and say "it would be best for you to hold off creating such harsh opinions." I also have harsh opinions of people who commit robberies. You don't seem to get it. I think that the writer is guilty but so is the student who seeks to cheat.
Yes, I have an endgame to fulfill--to assure that students' do their own, original work and not get someone else to help them cheat. My endgame is academic integrity because I teach college classes; that's my side job, other than being a professional writer. I am an adjunct for two universities. When students commits plagiarism, they are committing the offense against academic integrity. They are cheating the honest students that do their own work. People who cheat to get a degree don't deserve a degree and should be kicked out colleges.
