Of course using an academic ghost writer is dishonest. Submitting work under your name or giving anyone the impression that you wrote a peper when you in fact did not is dishonest. At the very least it is lying and it does you a great disservice also. When you use an academic ghost writer you do not learn the materials that the paper is in reference to. This means that the principles and ideas which follow will be more difficult for the cheater to grasp and may result in the need to pay someone to write their next paper too. As with so many things in life, the us of an academic ghost writer to help you get by on your course required assignments, can snowball into an untennable position fairly quickly. This is because in education so many future concepts in a course of study hinge upon the students grasp of the principles and processes which proceeded them.
There is no college or university on the planet that will not expell a student for the use of an academic ghoswriter. Submitting any work that is not your own, if caught, will get you expelled. Many times it is easy to figure out whether or not a piece of writing was written by the same writer or by a different one. Differences in syntax and verbiage are clear give aways that someone may be pulling a fast one. Teachers look for these discrepancies in syntax and in writing style, as it is an indication of cheating. If the student writes any of their class papers themselves the teacher gets a feel for the style and level of communication skills. As very few people will write exactly the same, a teacher can clearly see when a diffenet writer is substituted, whether the papers previous were written by the ghostwriter or the paper written by the other source is the one that rings false, it will not take much effort at all for someone to see that the writing is not the same.
Using an "academic ghostwriter" is just a fancy way of saying cheat. With so many people attending online colleges and universities in which the coursework can be intensive the use of cheats and ghostwriters seems easy and in some cases practical. In fact there are numerous people who have graduated from an online college who did not participate nor legitamately complete one or more of the classes that they are credited with completing. This means that they may or may not truly be qualified for the job that they hope to procure with their bogus degree. If a student were to be caught having submitted the work of a ghostwriter to any of their classes they may not graduate at all without taking the entire curriculum over again. That is quite a high price to pay for the short term gain of submitting work that is not your own. In short it is a way of lying, and everyone knows that lying is dishonest, right?
