OK: D E Not OK: A B C I have never seen anybody asking more than one "do my homework" question. I would encourage students to give it a try, even if it's not working, and give some advice on that. Pointing to a web page like "do your homework yourself - it will benefit you most that way" is a very good idea. Markus -- Markus Schnell

Hi.
I'm curious about what the people on this list consider appropriate, as responses to homework questions. Even if there isn't a consensus, it may be interesting to see how opinion is divided.
Please consider the following.
(A) Give a perfect answer. (B) Give a subtly flawed answer. (C) Give an obfuscated answer. (D) Give a critique of what the questioner has tried so far. (E) Give relevant general advice without answering the specific question.
I mean them to include giving references, e.g. a Wiki URL to relevant general advice would count as (E).
Which of those do you approve of? Which do you disapprove of?
Please email me a concise vote, e.g.
OK: B D E Not OK: A
and I'll post a collated result next week.
- Tom
