Would I be completely wrong to do this- buying a dissertation

[NotNowNinja]

Finishing my masters I’ve wrote 6000 words which my supervisor has basically told me to re-write.
I just want this to be over but I’m working ridiculous hours atm, recently suffered miscarriage, not sleeping due to ongoing ptsd and dh is undergoing a big operation in next month so I’m struggling with focus and time.
I know it’s morally wrong and I probably would feel guilty but I need to lighten my plate at the minute feel so overwhelmed- I had a panic arrack at work the other day thinking about everything.
Deferring is not an option sadly :(

Atack

I’m so sorry about what your going through but I think it would not only be morally wrong, it would also be foolish as you could be caught

GAH *you’re

I would. Your health and health of Dh is more important. If u can get away with it and have the money I would.

Don't do it. It's not worth it if you get caught.

Could you take a few days off work and get it done? If it's just rewriting then it should be doable.

you sound like you need a break. You know the answer to this though- it is wrong. Apart from anything else, you’d know it wasn’t your work, and if you got done for it, you’d have nothing. Can you take some leave from work to try and get it done? Good luck!

I think you’d be stupid to - there’s a high probability of getting caught. There’s software now that unis use to scan essays for plagiarism and they’re very good at finding essay mill essays.

Yes obviously it would be wrong. You’ll always know you cheated and probably regret future things that come out of getting the qualification.

And of course if people ask you questions about it you won’t know the answers and it’ll be obvious!!

There must be a third way, some extra tutoring or advice? Are you totally sure about deferring?

Get an extension on the dissertation. Honestly, you'd be gutted if you were caught

You need to go and talk to your supervisor as I suspect they will give you an extension in the circumstances.

Probably career-ending if you get caught.

Nope. You'll get caught. The software to detect this is pretty good. Go and talk to your supervisor and arrange an extension that has a viable end date (ie not just a couple of days). There are procedures to follow if life happens and you can't meet deadlines. Cheating is not one of them.

Would it be possible for you to not do the dissertation and graduate with a PG diploma rather than the full masters? As your supervisor has already seen 6000 words you've written it seems quite likely they'd spot a bought dissertation

Of course it's wrong and you'll probably be caught anyway.

I'd seek an extension if at all possible.

I wouldn’t. It’s so easy to get caught as the quality of them is not great and that’s all your hard work down the drain. Could you not speak to your tutor and see if submitting extenuating circumstances is an option?

I think also this will haunt you for the rest of your life. Can you take even a day or two off work? Even a couple of days devoted to it might make you feel in control? If needs be I’d rather phone in sick and live with that than cheat.

If you are caught you will end up with no qualification. If you aren't caught, you've only passed because you're a cheat. Are either of those options acceptable to you?

I'm sorry that you have so much on your plate. I would go back to your supervisor for a bit more direction about how to sort the dissertation.

Surely you can put in extenuating circumstances and ask either for an extension or defer a year/go dormant?
There must be other options than cheatin innsuchba serous way.

Easiest option is to just submit it as it is

Second option. Take a break. When is the submission deadline?

Third option, ask student services about extenuating circumstances and deferral or extension.

You know it would be wrong - that's why you're asking.

So sorry for everything you've been through, or are going through - but this is wrong and you will regret it.

It's basically cheapening / negating all the work you've done up to this point for your Masters, don't do it.

as PP have said - can you take a couple of days off?

Is there a half way house where you could work with a tutor and they help you rewrite it? Less stress and could still be in your own words.

I'm sorry you're having a hard time but committing fraud is not the answer. How would you feel if you lost out on a future job because you got beaten by a candidate who had no valid qualifications but had bought their way in? Not great I'd imagine.

And go back to your uni tutor and get lots of advice on what needs to change.

Also you could easily write 6000 words in a day.

ask Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman how buying collage degrees is working out for them and their kids

i would think after that most people no matter how stressed would think twice

Ps I would do it if there was no chance of getting caught. You've got a lot on your plate. But not worth the risk of getting caught.
