  • As an american college student with ADD (i know i know... "the fad disease of academia") who is currently struggling to finish a very shot (10 page) research paper, this just angers me. Even though I spend six hours working on assignments that others can finish in one, I would never stoop to this. Sure, I've cheated out of laziness here and there, who hasn't? But this just crosses the line for me as I sit here killing myself over a paper that my peers are paying for.

  • Im 100% sure the student has a language barrier. However, that doesn't mean she is stupid. It is just harder to express her ideas on paper. Furthermore, she may even have a disability like "Dyslexia". Its more ignorant to make fun of someone without looking at the big spectrum.

  • TIT NETWORK

  • I cant believe that english is the persons first language. Im sure that was the reason why it sounded like that. Even ignorant people can spell so im not buying that she was an american.

  • The first line of that e-mail...Lord have mercy...that is so sad. And that is a PhD student? No...no, no no. This is not ok. I just graduated from college and I am going to continue on to teach. I understand students that a trying to learn English having that kind of trouble, but if you grew up speaking it, you won't get away with abusing it that way in my classroom. Thanks for the inspiration, TYT.

  • boobies

  • that guy is a fucking idiot. Get your head on straight and learn how to really do an interview. He had everything to say that a 14 year old kid could of said about the people paying the "shadow scholar"

  • Is English her first language?

  • 1:53. I actually know people that talk like that on Facebook. Gosh.

  • And she is the reason I subbed lol

  • I agree with the hot hostess (what's her name? Very bright, also). I am a college professor, and we (professors) DO get suspecious of students suddenly "smarting up" in writing. Plagiarism is easy to spot,because stupid students copy texts straight from the internet and mix them with their own (horrible) texts. But when there is no clear plagiarism, and the work "smells funy" it is hard to prove it, and these students are not stupid, they are lazy, and they do boss administration against us...

  • Anyone else mute the video and stare at her tits?

  • oh my god what.

    that...

    seriously.

  • i fucking hate chinks

  • Yes, Ana is easy on the eyes, but come on people, stop commenting about her breasts on this video! Some of us are actually watching this video for the content, not her breasts! Have some respect and actually make remarks about the outrageous cheating epidemic in our colleges

  • @paydog23 Thank you

  • DAMN!!! THIS IS JUST LIKE A PORNO...

    CHEERS

  • suck on annas huge tits lol

  • That woman doesn't know anything about ethics either !

  • I just want to point out that those sentences look very much like the type of language that Deaf people use when writing emails, sending texts, using a TTY, etc. I wonder if this person is Deaf?

  • its funny an arts major like anna can tlk shit liek this i bet they won't say shit to a science or engineering student right those r the two hardest faculties

  • @dojOdRiFTeR I'm a science major and I agree with Ana... There's somebody in one of my classes who can barely speak English yet he handed in a piece of group work with words like "thus" and "thee".

  • boobies

  • Me Phd Scholar hahahaahhahlol

  • This bitch must have been chinese, no american could write that bad, it's the logical construction of sentences, it's different in every language

  • We had one at ____ university. No actually four!! They supplemented their income pretty well. think they were meth addicts but damn fine quality work.

  • I think this chick came down pretty hard on the people who turned on this shadow scholar for help. She talking like she is the most intelligent person in the world. I can't speak for everyone else but writing essays and papers is very difficult too me. No matter how hard I try the best grade I can for is a C. Some people like myself suck at writing.

  • I have written many papers or rather rewrote papers for many friends... It is obvious to me that this is not an American student, so English is not her first language, it is not that she is uneducated, it is just that she probably is not good at communicating in written English. Many of my friends are highly intelligent, and let's remember papers make up for about half or less than half of your grade, they still have to pass their exams in order to pass & get their degree.

  • Okay, this is fine. If they want to cheat, let him write. Let them get caught. And let him keep the money.

    Thats capitalism baby!

  • It wasn't that great of an article. And the guy is exaggerating his prowess. Nick Mamatas' article The Term Paper Artist is much better on the subject. ANd he actually gives advice on how to write these things.

  • There are many reasons why people hire someone to do the job for them like writing a paper. One reason could be overwhelming amount of mostly useless, unpractical materials to memories, write about , prepare for retarded,laughable speeches and presentations etc. that somehow don't translate into getting a good job nor prepare for any..those take lots of time to complete. In other words, time's very limited...who cares. If she knows the right people she'll get the right job,if not,shell pay 4it

  • English is probably not the female's primary language. I know many people in which english isn't their primary language, and there speaking/writing skills in english are similar to this.

  • @IWantMyVisionBack Thats all well and good, but its a fucking english based paper. Sorry love, extra classes.

  • Why isn't Cenk that the building with Ana?

    Did she give him a restraining order? LOL

  • I'm 16 and I believe this is exaggerated.

    C'mon really, she spelled project wrong!

  • It isn't illegal to either accept or write these papers correct?

    Even if these people are plagiarising, who gives a damn. School doesn't educate one, it molds them into a worker for society.

  • I AM Shadow Scholar.

  • Some people see this video and think CHEATERS! I think business opportunity.

  • My room mate is an incredible writer, he could make a fortune doing this.

  • Judging from the way those sentences are constructed I would assume that English is not that person's first language.

  • @ThiaLam They have to pass a test in college if English isn't their first language. I've seen many American kids who are horrible at English. At the HS I graduated from, Mexican immigrants scored higher on the English section of HS graduation exam than American born students.

  • money talks and WRITE!!! lol

  • This is why real degrees at real institutions incorporate plenty of exams.

  • I wrote papers for people in college. My mom wrote papers for people when she was in college. Senators' sons pay big money for those papers, and I encounter people every day who must have paid for their papers or slept with professors to get the piece of paper which entitles them to their job. Who cares if our leaders can't think, as long as they have a piece of paper that says they're educated?

  • That girl can't be a native English speaker though. Native speakers wouldn't make grammatical errors like that.

  • @pinkpumpkinn Really?

  • OMG I CNT STOP LOOKIN AT HER TITS !!!!

  • @omarion2k haha lol, shes hott

  • I love this Shadow Scholar guy for exposing the fact that kids in this country can't write. Americans lead the world in blind confidence without any intellectual substance to back it up. The snobbery "educated" people have towards those who can't write is maddening.

  • Dude, Ana couldn't get more naive. I know this should be aggravating and a shocker, but people also half way around the globe, or even not that far away from the borders, pay for their certifications/degrees without actually spending anytime going to school. So at least she knows she was supposed to hand a paper about business ethics.

  • There are programs in colleges - usually in the library - where they have trained instructors to help you with your papers. FOR FREE.

  • That lady who's got her PhD in business, obviously knows it takes money to make money. I think she'll do well.

  • May be, that is how Michelle Bachman got an education, or Sarah Palin. That woman couldn't write a 5 line essay let alone a thesis

  • May be, that is how Michelle Bachman got an education

  • @SlipperySnake321

    Completely with you here - this report being presented by two "ejukated" people who consistently make basic grammar errors in their own speech. Seems like the pots and kettles are mingling again.

  • All Schools of Business are filled with morons. Along with the School of Physical Education. HA!

  • I have to say that the article itself is pure gold. Especially the part about seminary students!

  • Nice rack Ana :)

  • I should actually start doing this since I am a Master's student and I notice that most undergrads cannot not write at all. It would probably pay better than my current job.

  • Sarah Palin needs this guy!!!!!!

  • I am a Teaching Assistant in university as a Master's student and I can tell you that students today cannot write!!!

  • A critical component to research based thesis is the oral defense, where a committee, including an external examiner (usually independent of the university and an expert in the field of the thesis) examines the candidate over 2 or more rounds of questions. This process uncovers the candidates knowledge and familiarity of the topic. All aspects covered in the thesis are fair game. Harder to catch this for undergrad 'papers' when it is paid for but still "original work".

  • For ESL students, this is a serious problem. Usually institutions will admit even the ones that don't have adequate language skills because they want them paying an international tuition rate. Once they're in, they don't receive any support from the university. I was a TA for a history class and we has several Chinese students there for business degrees who did not speak or write English and failed every assignment given to them.

  • America will become a 3rd world country sooner than you realize.

  • I highly doubt that woman received her PhD. Typically a dissertation or thesis must be defended. I don't see how she coul have managed that

  • wouldn't it get kind of obvious when she has to do impromptu essay exams for finals

  • everyone whos probably done this is either a bum or christine o donell

  • love the caveman talk lol

    

  • I am seriously contemplating doing this part time through school... besides, "shadow scholar" sounds pretty awesome.

  • I would hire this guy in a second. Fucking labor relations essays are tedious.

    And 6:18 is priceless.

  • @LindaDelorme well she is writing to a person who is going to write her paper...so it makes sense to dumb yourself down

  • How do I reach these keeeeeeeds!!

  • Come on! Who hasn't had a dumb ass supervisor that has came in with a higher degree and you look at them and go 'WTF! coloring book college did you escape from?'

  • "What do you thing?"... Niiiice.

  • Why would she even get a Ph.D in business. Dumb bitch

  • isnt she going to get caught? every course has a final and most have written essay components

  • @AnnaSarahBanana

    Graduate schools have projects instead, so I've been told.

  • @ENez0 Depending on the school and the dpeartment. You have a dissertation or thesis project for either the grad level or the post grad level respectively.. MBA's typcically is a thesis where they then must defend their arguments. Other fields usually have a research component where you investigate a phenomenon and then write up a thesis (graduate) and a dissertation (post graduate).

    I just don't see how this woman could have done that.

  • @AnnaSarahBanana Depending on the postgraduate school, you have a dissertation or thesis project. MBA's typcically has students defend an argument they have made in their thesis or dissertation. Other fields usually have a research component where you investigate a phenomenon and then write up a thesis (graduate) and a dissertation (post graduate)

  • Huh..just passin by to have a mornin look at beaut Ana !

  • The writer of those emails is named Angela. Lives in Orlando. English as a second language, goes to Phoenix University. The McDonalds of colleges.

  • a Ph.D in business is basically worthless anyways

  • If you look at the way that they verb-noun arangement is switched around, the e-mails that they read are obviously from someone who does not speak English as a primary language, and doesn't speak English very well as a secondary language.

  • This is beyond disgusting

  • LOOKS LIKE A CHINESE BITCH...

  • @srikanth94 yup

  • just 33 papers...

  • Boobs

  • nice tits.

    smart kids.

    idiots she wouldn't talk like that in rl. dumb fuck. how she types is meaningless

  • why are her boobs bigger on this vid?

  • dont you realise that she may have made all those mistakes on purpose...COME ON!!!

  • Oh my god she is so hot.

  • Comment removed

  • english is definitely not her first language

  • i was watching 2 minutes of the video and then i checked how long it was and i was like O_O good bye :P

  • I'm autistic and I can spell better then that come on people try a little.

  • @dragonswordcannon I'm Autistic and I can write breathe better than most of these people

  • 2 names immediately come to mind:

    1. GW Bush

    2. Sarah Palin

    I wonder how much those 2 paid to receive their degrees. Palin, it's POSSIBLE she got through on her own, since she went to non-selective schools. But Bush at Yale? Fuck me - his dad must have paid for a troop of Shadow Scholars.

  • @firewallx bush is very smart... your just a dumbass who can understand it.

  • @firewallx Yeah man!!! Sarah Palin went to like 5 different colleges lol, cause shes a dumb hoe

  • @firewallx Well, he got in because his daddy "donated" to the school. He became a Air Nat. Guard Airman because his dad made an exception for him to jump in line in front of thousands of hardworking Americans so he would avoid Vietnam (some of which died). He scored a 25/95 on the ASVAB test. You can't even become Army Infantry with a, ASVAB score of 25. In Yale his classmates called his work: "Less then desirable".

  • @firewallx Try John Kerry, B. Hussein Obooboo, and Teddy Kennedy. Three as dumb a box of rocks.. Oh, throw Al Gore in there too, if you can find a few weightlifters to help.

  • Am I the only one who's wondering how the heck she got into college to begin with? o-0

  • Although this story is to be expected, TYT exaggerated it a lot by reading out that E-mail. It was painstakingly obvious that it was a student who didn't have English as their first language, and presumably one who may not even live in the same country.

  • wonder if shes an international student?

  • Eye donut tink is a bud idee two git colege whitout noing two much. Mor mony four me since eye grajeate colege.

  • I wanna be a brain surgeon

  • click play. first think i think is, damn ana is hottt!

  • Heh, suddenly the global market melt down makes so much sense...

  • $2.000 dollars or more

    now wonder there is so many poor college kids

  • ahh god tht was so terrible, i think i lost some iq points

  • 1:53 WHO THE FUCK WROTE THAT SENTENCE, AN LOL CAT??!?!?!?!!?

  • Profs dont mark papers, T.As do and they dont look indepth, they just mark em. At the end of the day not many people care, the Prof gets paid, the T.A gets paid the student gets his/her degree. So sad...

  • @idiiidit lol wow, those are MASSIVE titties

  • @idiiidit  Umm....I think they are about to explode!

  • @idiiidit thats totally off topic you disrespectful pervert

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Anna has some nice tits. lol

  • American education.

  • Many of these 'ESL' students mentioned in the article and video are students with F1 Visas from Asia and the Middle east.

  • lol I'm not gonna lie. My spelling sucks especially if its about a topic that I could careless about but the guy sounds rather intelligent if these idiotic and lazy college kids are still bring him business. This world is going to hell in a hand basket if something isn't done.

    GET VOCAL EVERYONE.

  • That chick just pleasing her parents... she'll marry some guy and he'll take care of her.

  • lmao!!! A lotz of peoplez dat Iz nose. I wanna know how do you contact the guy lol.

  • maybe those shadow scholars are predominantely rich foreign students

  • hmm...

    as you r calling it SHDW SCOLR

    it looks like he might b an undercover agent....haha.

    nice vdo raised imp point

    evry1 of us hv faced such SHDW SCHLR..

  • I could never use one because I consider everything I write an extension of my philosophy. As for being a shadow scholar myself, that could buy a lot of pot...

  • Dyslexic and autistic kids spell way better than her. Don't forget about people's basic math skills. I wait hours for cashiers to hand me my correct change. The bill would be $6.05 and I gave him $10.05, but he asked me why I gave him 5 extra cents. LOL.

  • 5 rich lazy kids didn't like this video.

  • 66k a year? I never knew that ghostwriting was so lucrative. perhaps I should start doing that.

  • @DrQuijano you should as long you as you don't get caught.

  • This made me sooooo angry, what they say is very offensive. It's so clearly ovious that woman is dyslesic! Just because she cant spell or write very well does not mean she is stupid. Very disspointed on they're take on this story

  • @Matalee grammar check in word... You must be stupid not to use it, especially if you are dyslexic.

  • er y is this shocking..it was obviously an international student who was caked up

  • Rich kids pay someone to do all the work while they get all the credit, prestige and move up? And people say higher education doesn't function like the real world.

  • Need more teachers and more school hours, oh also higher pay for teachers. PERIOD!!!

  • I read the original story, but he guy never stated the woman he quoted was working towards a PhD. However, he claims he wrote a final thesis for a PhD student in sociology and papers for other subjects: history, cinema, labor, pharmacology, theology, sports management, maritime security, airline services, sustainability, city budgeting, marketing, philosophy, ethics, postmodern architecture, anthropology, literature, and public admin.

    It's hard to believe his story isn't at least exaggerated.

  • @1984ThoughtPolice

    Obama needs a teleprompter for every public address and these people want to talk about a lack of education?

    Give me a fucking break...

  • @1984ThoughtPolice

    Obama is so poorly qualified and so poorly educated he needs a teleprompter.

    And suddenly these people are worried about education?

    Hah!

  • @SirWinstonChurchill If you are going to attempt trolling, make it clear the first time. Me making you repeat your troll message means that you, the supposed troll, actually got trolled by me. FAIL

  • @1984ThoughtPolice

    Go suck a shotgun...

  • @1984ThoughtPolice I find this story very believable.  If your a professional reseacher you can read up on a subject and churn out a good quality 4-5 page piece on the subject in a day.

    $40000 would pay for someone to work day in day out 6 months researching and writing a PhD

    If your a history lecturer with 10 years at the top of academia you'd get a 100% pay rise by doing this instead of your normal job

  • Beer labels are the key to college English...

    "That all depends on what the definition of 'is' is." (Bill Clinton)

    Bill Clinton would have been a riot to party with in college, he wouldn't need to read his jokes off a video screen like Obama.

  • I wanna be a shadow scholar

  • I think the services are definitely mostly for non- native speakers, since even the worst english speakers can somehow manage basic sentences. The entire sentence structure from the emails seemed like an international student, which would mean they had money to blow since they're paying crazy money to even study here.

  • Knows nothing about busisness and can barely speak coherently?

    Sounds like a majority of all economists, whats the problem?

  • This is retarded why the fuck can people not write their on shit. Like seriously its not the persons fault or the shadow scholars its the retarded system that failed at teaching these ppl, essential life skills.

  • I like that the university system is bullshit and people are wasting all kinds of time and money getting degrees and tickets. meanwhile, I will strong-arm my way towards wealth. Everything is known; there isn't a thing that a sincere and talented person can't do. Education is great, but I'd rather be the guy with experience.

  • Ah thats how Bush got his degrees!

  • I am going to use that name to form a kickass band: THE SHADOW SCHOLAR.

  • Hey if it lets you pass your class then why not? I had my thesis written too..turned out pretty good actually...Plus it's a good job opportunity for poor college students

  • The example she read sounds like an ESL. The syntax and odd arrangement of prepositions reminded me of Chinese or Vietnamese speakers.

  • Shadow Scholar .. tis probably good ole Kissinger , workin for nickels & dimes now .

  • @paolofanderson shortcut yes, but those examples were incomprehsible. its a pretty big deal

  • i wish i could meet ana and win her over with my amazing charm but im only 19 and not latino so she prolly wouldnt be interested lol

  • @jamnin94 Why should she only be interested in Latino folks?

  • Since Cenk is making money now, he has lost a couple of pounds. Or maybe the network told him that he needed to lose weight.

  • ok this is bad but does anyone else imagine a black girl writing this when they hear the email?

  • @pucpimp to be honest no i live in the ghetto and go to a good school so i have dealt with all races and iv'e met idiots in every single 1 so no

  • @pucpimp I just finished a peer review study in my honors philosophy course. Mind you, this class consists of nothing but students who are apparently a cut above the rest and about to receive a bachelor's within the next year. Lo and behold, all three of my reviews were from girls: one black, and two white. The black girl's and one of the white girl's sounded just like the girl from this video. Unfortunately, the ignorance is so deep now that it infects every single American.

  • THE SHADOW SCHOLAR!!!!!

  • maybe her keys dont work or shes piss drunk every time she wrote to him lol, at my schools my professors have TAs to do all the grading for them(most of the TAs are working on their PHD) and are actually pretty fair graders. my professors usually dont grade their undergrad classes themselves since most teach upper level +4000 classes and im just taking 2000 lvl classes so yea

  • Does she have Dislexia or is English her second language? I need to know the cause of her spelling problems.

  • 2000 mother fuckin dollars for a paper? This world is not fair AT ALL. How the fuck can kids have that much money at their disposal to blow it on something as pointless as this?? Im 15 and it takes me 2 months of labour to make $2000!
