As a college professor, I've enjoyed the hell out of this thread.
BTW, it normally takes me less than 90 seconds to search the internet and discover if a student's paper has been purchased. It's the old "live by the sword" routine.

Unfortunately, I see this type of student more and more. They struggle because they see themselves as VICTIMS and they believe that what happens to them is determined by external forces. They can't sustain any motivation and they feed off of frustration and resent about their own lack of direction. They reject offers of assistance, they live at the mercy of their own strong emotions, they only seem to respond to instant gratification, and they suffer strong doubts about their own competencies.
