UAE Writing Industry Outlook: A Client’s Perspective
The UAE Writing industry has experienced a tremendous growth over the past few years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, writing services for hire saw a large increase in the number of clients/students going online to place orders, which suggests students were taking advantage of the lack of supervision in online exams, often because of pressure. Their busy work schedules meant they were unable to concentrate on their assignments. Sometimes they indulged in it to get higher marks and sometimes it was just out of desperation.
Hessa Anam (name changed to conceal identity), a past client who sort assistance for her assignment says she had to rely on UAE writing service providers online for her assignment, and they were able to help her get a merit, although she says she’d have settled for a credit. “All I wanted was a service that would help me get the degree. I had been scammed thrice in the process, with little time and no confidence at all whether I could complete my University of Salford MS. in Procurement and Logistics.” This case explains one aspect of students seeking essay writing services, out of desperation.
In recent years, there have been cases where students have lost huge amounts of money to undeserving UAE writers who brazenly promote their services with one goal in mind: to lure students and deceiving them into entering contracts that they fail to honour, and sometimes even blackmail them. EssayScam.ae was built to curb this vice by providing a platform where clients can share their feedback and experiences on writing services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the larger UAE and MENA region; ensuring that clients get value for their money while saving on time.
This noble idea has indeed helped clients who have used EssayScam.ae to find recommendations on the best essay writing websites and companies. In addition, clients who feel that they have been shortchanged can use the platform to expose writing services in the industry that do not deliver or otherwise deliver substandard research papers written for clients. In addition, unsatisfied clients can report service providers who fail to provide services they claim to be providing.
There is also the issue of contract cheating, where students seek help from third parties to complete their assignments. Although this has been a subject of debate and discussion, most of the service providers counter this by stating that the research and writing services sought by students are solely meant to serve as model academic papers for clients, and should therefore not be used in the final submission. But Universities and other regulatory bodies see this as undermining academic integrity.
Despite this, UAE writing service providers continue to use persuasive marketing techniques to create a sense of urgency and legitimacy. Indeed, writing services in the UAE will be headed for future growth as demand grows. Students are required to be careful when outsourcing their writing and research papers, in addition to asking questions that would lead to unmasking unscrupulous services in the industry.
