I'm disappointed that I didn't get a regular A or A+ because I'm a college graduate and the essay is for her ESL class. How embarrassing.

Maybe you didn't put in the same amount of effort because you underestimated the scrutiny of the instructor?

I have to admit, I felt kind of rusty and it took me longer than expected since I hadn't written an essay in couple of years. But I felt it should have been a regular A.

if you write an essay that is obviously a significantly higher level than what your girlfriend has shown, then the shadow writing becomes too apparent

Was this after or before you refused to pay for her concert ticket?

He should have just charged the people parking out front of his house. Then he would have had money to buy the ticket.

Thank goodness the integrity of the academic system is intact...

I know a few people who did this for their "significant others*" (*at the time - one broke up after being used and abused, lulz). Worst offense was one who wrote her boyfriend's master's thesis. I was a bit pissed considering how many relationships I destroyed and how much time I blew having to write my own 60 page graduate paper...

Better start hoping her instructor doesn't choose to pursue the matter further. What you and your girlfriend did is an automatic F for at least the assignment at any college.

If they had proof, many places would kick you out. My school was overcrowded as it was so there's a zero tolerance policy for such things.

I did already. I stayed up 2 am writing it and we had sex after she woke up in the morning.

Was that at noon or 1pm? Because she sounds like a lazy @ss who probably slept in all morning...

I hope she loved you long time. I don't see the point of having someone doing one's homework for ESL, given the whole point of the class.

That would be hard to prove although the paper I wrote for her has a different writing style than hers. It's not like her instructor can use an anti-cheat website to check for similar papers since I wrote it on my own.

My g/f told her instructor that she had someone help her proof read and fix her mistakes.

Her college is making her take it so she is not thrilled about it.

Who am I to judge if a woman just wants to focus on her oral skillz. :p

But it sounds like she needs the course if she can't comfortably write the essay. Some college requirements are like 'wtf, when am I ever going to use this???...' but that doesn't apply here because the answer is 'immediately.'

I would go to her prof, tell him that YOU wrote the paper, so it's perfectly clear that he is a sexist since he lowered her grade for being female.
