How many people on average view my essay before I get a review for it?

Your assumptions are incorrect. When a reviewer wants to see an essay to review CV gives him/her/they 2 choices, a or b.

They only reveal a partial 1 sentence of the what the writer wants to happen and perhaps a 3/4s of the first sentence. Sometimes you get add'l information like what school they are applying to (revealing just 1 school). So it looks something like this.

So no one would plagiarize a partial essay. And more often if the first sentences seem tedious or complicated, most people will pass on them. Sometimes dozens and dozens of reviewers pass on an essay before someone bites. The reason for this is that if an essay looks difficult to review or the writer seems demanding or full of expectations, they'd rather pass because it will mean they will most likely not receive a 5-star review. Maybe get a 3 or 4. I have about 5 regrets for trying to help out essay writers that had a chip on their shoulder or just had such a jaded view of life or maybe just full of themselves. In the end, they couldn't accept any constructive criticism perhaps their ego was bruised, or felt that they were just know-it-alls. So even though I felt I deserved a 5-star rating I got a retaliatory rating. That is why many reviewers give up after about 50 reviews. It's just too much work and too little reward. You might be doing a great service for 9 out of 10 people, but there is always one cocky writer who just ruins if with a bad rating.

Sometimes I've even clicked on review this essay and then read it 2 or 3 times. In some cases the essays are so bad and poorly constructed, these writers need remedial English not my help, so I just let the 60 min clock time out and lose 10 or 20 Karma on purpose because I just can't get myself to work on something for an hour for a futile purpose.

There are a lot of good reviewers that look forward to reading a good essay and 99% of reviewers do this job as a community service peer thing no to steal ideas. It's like working for ZERO cents an hour, no one wants to work for free right?

Hi there! Thanks for using our Peer Essay Review tool. To answer your questions:

Generally, there's only 1 person who ever views a student's submission (whoever claimed the essay for review), but we do see essays that are viewed once before another student actually reads and reviews the essay occasionally. Very rarely it'll be read by more than 2+ users prior to a review.

In your case, only 1 of your submissions so far have been viewed by one other student prior to getting a review, out of 7 essays you've submitted since October.

We also have ways to mitigate users who purposefully set out to view without intending to review an essay. Some of these measures include locking the user out for 24 hours and prohibiting the users from participating in the process.

Hope this helps, and let us know if you have more questions!

So in my mind that result occurs because of the presumed difficulty of the essay (as Cameron pointed out) while also Collegevine as a site has peak periods. Because of that there may be a queue of essays that have been submitted as such the wait becomes longer. Collegevine adjusts the karma cost of submitting essays based on queue length so that's an accurate indicator of length. Also most CV users are American submitting something at 9 pm differed from submitting in the morning when more users are active. Also there is variance in site usage based on the day of the week as well. Cameron is correct regarding plagiarism with how rare it is.

Hope this helps and feel free to seek clarification.
