I was a little disappointed with this report TBH :-( A few old tropes dragged out with little evidence to support them: International students, "lazy students", and so on. No REAL guidance or action plan, other than the hope essay mills might be made illegal. Nothing genuinely new or original to report. A stronger line is needed, such as to see to what extent essay mills are actually affecting assessment. Or what alternatives to the 'tired old essay' should be, or are being assessed. Hard questions, but ones that need asking.
