Zusatztext Not only does the book offer a rather startling behind-the-scenes look at what is a surprisingly big business! it also delivers a highly personal! highly savage indictment of the American higher-education system. Informationen zum Autor Dave Tomar Klappentext Dave Tomar wrote term papers for a living. Technically, the papers were "study guides," and the companies he wrote for-there are quite a few-are completely aboveboard and easily found with a quick web search. For as little as ten dollars a page, these paper mills provide a custom essay, written to the specifics of any course assignment. During Tomar's career as an academic surrogate, he wrote made-to-order papers for everything from introductory college courses to Ph.D. dissertations. There was never a shortage of demand for his services. The Shadow Scholar is the story of this dubious but all-too-common career. In turns shocking, absurd, and ultimately sobering, Tomar explores not merely his own misdeeds but the bureaucratic and cash-hungry colleges, lazy students, and even misguided parents who help make it all possible.
