Dear Colleagues
A Monday afternoon read:
The Shadow Scholar: the man who writes your students' papers tells his story.
Ed Dante is a pseudonym for a writer who lives on the East Coast. Through a literary agent, he approached The Chronicle wanting to tell the story of how he makes a living writing papers for a custom-essay company and to describe the extent of student cheating he has observed. In the course of editing his article, The Chronicle reviewed correspondence Dante had with clients and some of the papers he had been paid to write. In the article published here, some details of the assignment he describes have been altered to protect the identity of the student.
Amazingly Scary stuff indeed ...
(Hat-tip to Lara!)
