Would it be wrong to turn in a paper that you paid someone to write for you?

Not if you work as a professor and you're submitting it as your own work!

Hanyuu

Only if you get caught

Yes it's wrong. But it's not horrible.

That pesky honor code keeps getting in the way...

spectastic

It's more sad than wrong. Why help lazy people at all?

I would say it isn't wrong to write/sell them, but it is for anyone to buy them. Which seems kind of contradictory.

I'm no Pollyanna, but if you were caught doing that at my school, that's an honor code violation. Very few people would want to have "academic dishonesty" put in their records.

Sikorsky

It seems contradictory because it is contradictory.

If you take money to write papers that other people will submit as their own work, you are conspiring with them to do something that is academically dishonest. That makes you wrong, too. Particularly since there is no legitimate purpose for which a person would write these papers for pay.

Depends on how much cash they're offering.

How much you want?

Where do I send my money?

Vladenschlutte

What do you mean? The legitimate reason why someone would write the papers for pay is to make money. Calling that illegitimate is like saying working is illegitimate. That makes no sense.

I don't see what authority a school's honor code can have over non-students...

Well, for me, I was assuming he was a student. If he isn't, then it's still wrong. But the consequences wouldn't be as terrible.
