We get it. By the time you have reached
the final stage of your degree programme, the dissertation or thesis can seem like a major
hurdle. Your battery is flat and the temptation to hire someone to do a little writing for you is
understandable. The light at the end of the tunnel is visible but you have got this seemingly
massive hurdle between you and the finish line. It would not be such a bad thing to get
a little help in the form of a writing service, right? Wrong, in this video, we will unpack six
reasons why you should never consider using a dissertation or thesis writing service not even
for a chapter or two. These reasons range from ethical which you may or may not care about
to practical which you will definitely care about. If you are feeling even a little
tempted you definitely need to watch on. Reason number one it is blatant academic
misconduct. Despite what the well-polished dissertation writing websites might tell you
if your dissertation or thesis is written by anyone other than yourself even partially that
constitutes academic misconduct plain and simple. Yes, you can get guidance and review-based support
from a dissertation coach and generally you can even outsource non-essential tasks such as
transcription, editing and proofreading to a professional but the actual writing must be
your own work. So what are the consequences of academic misconduct you may ask? Well, this will
vary between universities but academic misconduct in the form of having someone else write your
dissertation for you will usually result in your entire degree being revoked. Yeah, you heard that
right. Your entire degree it does not matter that you completed your assignments reports and exams
on your own your entire degree will evaporate. So if you decide to hire a dissertation writing
service you will be risking the many years' worth of work you have put into your degree. To make it
even worse some universities will go so far as to blacklist you and share the information with
other universities which will make your life really difficult if you ever try to apply
for another degree programme elsewhere. One more thing to keep in mind your university can
initiate an investigation at any point in the future if there is any reason for them to suspect
that you have cheated the system. This means that your degree can get revoked many years after you
have received it. So just because you can get away with it and receive your certificate
now does not mean you are set for life. Reason number two cheating the system can amount
to fraud. If the thought of getting blacklisted for academic misconduct does not scare you off
the idea of committing fraud should. But how does a little rule-bending in university amount
to fraud? Well, the primary reason that most people complete a degree is to gain employment
or to improve their current employability. Of course, employers do not make their
decisions based purely on your qualifications but your education is always an important factor
in the recruitment process. So if your degree was gained in part by cheating you would be using
illegitimate documentation in other words your degree to earn money. Disagree? Well, here
is the Oxford dictionary definition of fraud. Fraud, the wrongful or criminal deception
intended to result in financial or personal gain. Sound familiar? Naturally different countries
and employers will take different views on this but there is a very real risk that if you
are caught at any point in the future by your employer they will have a clear
case of misrepresentation against you at best or fraud at worst. That is not going to
be fun especially if you earned a law degree. Reason number three you will probably be caught.
The biggest misconception we see among students who are considering using a dissertation or thesis
writing service is that they genuinely think they will not get caught. But my writer has a PhD
but this company has loads of positive reviews, oh, but my friend knows someone who did it and it
worked. Okay, yeah, here is the thing universities know all about these types of services and many
institutions dedicate resources to detecting them, especially for dissertations and theses as these
are the crowning jewel of any degree. In fact, it is really quite easy for a university to
see when things look fishy and ultimately catch you out. For a start, a dissertation usually
involves supervisor interaction and involvement. That supervisor works with you and as a result,
can easily spot any inconsistencies in writing and communication style. They can also easily assess
whether you understand what you have written when they speak with you in real-time. All it
takes is one little contradiction to arouse their suspicions. Ultimately a research project
like a dissertation or thesis is an ongoing dance between you and your supervisor or advisor or
chair. There is simply no way to incorporate an outsourced dissertation rider who is often sitting
on the other side of the world into this party without someone smelling a rat. The love triangle
just does not work. Also if you have to present an oral defence as part of your project you will
almost certainly get caught out at that stage as the examiners will dig into the finer details
of your research and ask you probing questions that you probably will not be able to answer.
If any suspicions arise your university can easily compare your previous written work, for
example, your assignments and reports to your forged dissertation and identify the
inconsistencies both in terms of the language and the overall quality of the work. They
can also ask to review your data sources. Many universities will require this by default which
you will not be able to provide since dissertation writing services do not typically undertake
any real data collection. Long story short, do not make the misguided assumption that
you will not get caught chances are you will. Reason number four the work probably will not
even be pass worthy. This one is pretty simple as the saying goes if you pay peanuts you
get monkeys. Undertaking quality research and writing up a quality dissertation or thesis
requires a significant time investment and a substantial amount of effort. There is simply
no way around that. So you cannot realistically expect quality work from a dissertation mill that
promises a document in a week or two sometimes even a few days at a rock bottom price. Sadly
we have seen it so many times students approach us at Grad Coach after they have paid anything
from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars to some supposedly highly ranked dissertation
writer then they receive a piece of work that is nowhere near pass worthy. In their despair, they
reach out to us to try to help put the proverbial lipstick on the pig. Needless to say, that is an
impossible task. The bottom line is that you get what you pay for and sometimes not even that.
No self-respecting PhD holder is going to pump out dissertations and theses for a minimum wage
and with impossible timelines. Moreover, anyone that has been through the pain of earning a PhD,
a real one, would have major ethical objections to engaging in this type of work. It fundamentally
goes against the purpose of academia. Helping people develop knowledge and skills,
knowledge and skills which you will also be missing out on by the way. So if you
do decide to hire a dissertation writer there is a very good chance you are going to end
up with a piece of work that is nowhere near the quality level it needs to be which means you have
achieved nothing, wasted a pile of money and you are back to square one and that is a relatively
good outcome especially compared to the next one. Reason number five there is a good chance it is a
scam. If you thought getting a low-quality piece of writing was bad imagine this not getting
anything at all. Very often these writing services fall into the if it looks too good to be
true it is not category. Over the years we have had numerous students approach us after falling
victim to a dissertation writing service scam. Generally, it is the companies and
websites that offer really low rates and or promise suspiciously quick turnaround times
but it can happen with any level of provider. These students then find themselves in a really
tough position they have spent all their money on a scam and have made absolutely zero progress
towards a submission-worthy dissertation or thesis. But this company has over a thousand
reviews on Facebook you say. Come on do not be fooled by the glowing reviews remember you are
looking at the reviews of a company whose core business is creating fake documents. Simply put
if you are going to hire someone that helps you scam your university do not be surprised if
you end up being the one getting scammed. Last but not least reason number six.
You will have to live with it forever. Okay, so let us just assume that somehow you do
get away with it somehow you manage to find a reliable company that is not a scam that produces
a semi-decent dissertation without any interaction with your supervisor and does not trigger any
alarm bells with your supervisor or examiners. As we have already said this is highly unlikely
but let us just assume that somehow you managed to do it even if you managed to pull that off
you will still have to live with the lie for the rest of your life. There is no rewinding
the clock or making it right at a later stage. Now perhaps that does not seem like a major
thing right now but your perspective will likely change as you get older and imposter
syndrome will creep in. So keep that in mind. As you get older your ethical perspectives
will change and you will have no option to reverse the decision you made and set it
right. You will always have the weight of deception on your shoulders and you will always
be wondering if one day you will get caught. That is a burden you do not want to be
carrying around for the rest of your days. All right if you have put in the effort to
watch this far I am hoping you have come to see the light and realised that hiring any
sort of dissertation or thesis writing service is the worst decision you could possibly
make regardless of the circumstances. If you have got any questions, be sure to
