I've always been a bit conflicted about the idea of paying for academic work. Recently, I’ve been considering whether I should pay someone to write my research paper. On one hand, it feels like a shortcut, but on the other, I really need the help due to my hectic schedule. For those who have done it, did you feel it was worth it? How did it affect your learning and grades? I want to make sure I'm making the right decision and not just taking the easy way out.
