To ask someone to tear my case study to shreds?

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate request. However, let's give it a try.

I'm in my final year at uni and am in the middle of writing up a case study.

I'm looking into how Obama and trumps policies on immigration have impacted on migration patterns and the lives of Hispanic migrants within the US.

I am 'balls deep' for lack of a better term, and am really struggling. I feel like my brain is like treacle and am struggling to connect a sentence. I need a pair of fresh eyes to look at it as I'm too far into it to judge it objectively if that makes sense.

I would send it to family/friends but there's none that would be able to critique it accurately.

Therefore I'm reaching out to anyone on mumsnet that would be willing to take a look, I'd need an email as it includes graphs and tables which seem to be mucking up on my phone and going all over the place.

My two main issues are -

  1. Is my argument clear? From start to finish?
  1. Does the structure require a lot of work?

Also it's not finished, a conclusion still needs to be added as well as several references.

If not, oh well, worth a shot!

Thanks in advance!

Are you seriously asking strangers to do your course work for you for free? “I’d need an email” - who do you think you are!?

wheredidlewiscapaldioriginate · 15/12/2021 19:50

Erm no Confused I'm asking if anyone is willing to look over my essay and give me some feedback. If not, not a problem. The work is done.

Obviously a bad idea going from your comment. Never mind.

Why don't you use another student on your course that you are friends with?

That's what I've done since GCSE.

wheredidlewiscapaldioriginate · 15/12/2021 19:52

@RedWingBoots I wish I could, but I entered from college into 3rd year and because of Covid I haven't set foot on campus and don't know a single person from my course sadly.

Also It’s not finished

Hmm

Maybe you could put this on the higher education board or a similar board? Perhaps you would get more support.

SarahAndQuack · 15/12/2021 19:53

Sure, no problem. You just post your university affiliation and you tutor's name, and I'll take it from here. Grin

Mumdiva99 · 15/12/2021 19:53

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of that area of study so would be no use to you. But I am sure some more worldly MNers will be along shortly to help. Good luck.

wheredidlewiscapaldioriginate · 15/12/2021 19:53

@OneRuleForThem yes, the conclusion needs done and a few references added, however, not sure how that equates to me asking others to do my work for free?

Thank you, didn't know there was one, will do this now.

No I don't think the OP is asking for strangers to do their coursework, I think it is fairly clear, they're asking for someone to read through what they have done and see if its bollocks or not.

You don't have to offer to help, but you also don't have to be shitty to someone asking for help.

@wheredidlewiscapaldioriginate if you want i can look, however keep in mind I know next to nothing about US immigration and my highest qualification is GCSE so I am probably not the droid you are looking for!

FireworkParrot · 15/12/2021 19:56

Ffs people she's just asking for someone to take a look and critique what she's written not write the thing for her.

OP, I would but it's not an area I know about I'm afraid.

roses2 · 15/12/2021 19:56

Hi, I'm happy to help and understand you're looking for constructive feedback - not someone to write the essay for you! I'll PM you my email

Who do you think you are?

How bloody rude are you?

If the OP sent the assignment and asked for people to give her the answers/write it, then yes that's wrong.

But they are literally asking for feedback. If you don't want to help then just move along.

Handsnotwands · 15/12/2021 19:59

Bless you OP, I’ve been there and I totally understand your ask. Unfortunately I’ve no idea of your subject matter but I really hope someone can spare you some time. Good luck!

SameToo · 15/12/2021 20:00

I could look but not until the weekend as up to my eye balls in work.

Plantstrees · 15/12/2021 20:01

It looks like you have found some help but if you are still looking then please PM me and I will give you my email address.

@wheredidlewiscapaldioriginate I would ask your dissertation supervisor to look at your first draft and give you some pointers!

It's not for my dissertation though. It's a stand alone assessment.

How many words is it? If it's only 2000 words then I'd pick the strongest arguments for your case and be more specific. Don't put too many different arguments in because it'll just be vague.

@Dwebbles21 it's 3000 word but I understand what you're saying thanks

Absolute lol at the first poster with terrible reading comprehension accusing the OP of being rude

Sorry OP, I can’t help as this isn’t an area of mine but I don’t think this is a bad idea. Lots of luck in getting it done and hope you manage to meet some people on your course soon, sounds really tough Flowers

Invisimamma · 15/12/2021 20:13

It's usually against your course rules to get help like this. You could be in big trouble if your uni found out.

Also sending your essay to a stranger on the Internet is not a good idea, they could sell it on or potentially submit it as their own work or publish it online and it'll look like you plagerised it.
