It cannot be considered that as an illegal act. For others, it is the job that they decided to chose for living. Some of us were not the gift of knkwledge and skills thats why they ended up depending on those people(the one yousaid on your thread). Pay a little amount of $ and voila, you have a report without ease. But it should not be patronize.
Yes, there's no visible law against that but it's not morally right and it's frowned upon by educational institutions. Projects and thesis are meant to develop a students perspective on the course he is studying so he's meant to carry out research and do the writing himself. Maybe that's the reason we have many unqualified professionals in our country.
that's true. However, as long as people willing to buy thesis and people willing to write thesis foe money exist, buying and selling of academic work will continue. I have also written thesis partially for a client via upwork.
Its not illegal. But abused. There's nothing wrong in helping people to do write ups for their academic jobs. The abused is the owner of the job neither participate or learn anything through the work out! Which is bad.
Yes,that's the world we are in now where everything can be exchanged for money. Writing thesis and projects for clients is a high paying task and is very profitable. In my country, the pay is much that many graduates and lecturers do it for a living. It has reduced the standard of education and the society.
I think it might be illegal to outsource project work for academic activities. The part that has to do with outsourcing that I think might not be wrong is where some travelling and scheduled meetings cannot be handled by the researcher himself at the same time , thennhe can outsource that.
It becomes illegal when it is discovered that he who claims he wrote the paper is an imposter. Whatever that person has achieve in the academia he might loose all, be demoted or even get sacked.
