In Nick Mamatas's article, The Term Paper Writer, Nick explains in detail the fallout of higher education. Nick Mamatas makes his living working as a term paper writer. Nick explains that a term paper writer is a person who is paid to write term papers for a client. The term papers may be on any subject and Nick must complete the job by the given deadline.
Nick goes on to explain the clients he must deal with on a daily basis. The three types of clients are the: "DUMB CLIENT" who "just aren't very bright" and "meant to use simple english", the "one timer" who are "generally lost and really did simply need a decent summary of their class readings", and third, the "well educated professionals who simply lack Enlgish-language skills"
Nick then continues to describe the technique of writing term papers. "I'd just scan Google or databases like Questia.com for a few quotes from primary and secondary sources, create an argument based on whatever popped up from my search, write the introduction and underline the thesis statement, then fill in the empty spaces between quotes with whatever came to mind." Nick Mamatas explains the real reason why the term paper industry is so popular, "It's because students have never read term papers."
Nick Mamatas makes an excellent point at why the term paper industry is so popular. Students should be given multiple examples of a term paper before being given the assignment.
i agree that Nick Mamatas makes a good point at why the term paper writing business is so popular. Students are just not shown what a real term paper looks like most of the time and therefore struggle to construct one on their own. I also agree that students need examples and then maybe there would be no need for term paper writers.
