The Shadow Scholar
How I Made a Living Helping College Kids Cheat
Ratings1
Average rating5
A sobering, full-length account based on the author's article in The Chronicle of Higher Education explains how his former employers sell legal, high-priced "study guides" that students can readily access and adapt for college assignments, discussing how the practice reveals unsettling realities about the bureaucracy of higher learning.

A fantastically written and disturbing look into just how badly our schools are failing our students. I'd very highly recommend this book to anyone who went to college, is thinking of going to college, or to anyone just wondering why schools seem to be so bad and why it is so many people who are clearly struggling are being pushed through their systems.
