Chy-
Is there not a study group at school you could become apart of? Its not wise to ask people online for answers to assignments. After all, would you trust just anyone's answers? For all you know I could either be a sixth grader failing math or an accounting professor.

I don't think we will see him/her again Learn. Looks like someone didn't want to bother with their reading assignment and wanted us to do their work.

I see there is a surge of this with fall semesters starting. The shame is, these people don't realize teachers are ahead of the curve and they look for their students on these kinds of sites.

I had a professor once who confronted a student in class. He caught him trying to cheat online and even had the ISP to prove it!

When I looked through the threads to make sure they were all related about half the questions where True/False and the rest he did provide an answer. The point is he did answer the questions and was just looking for confirmation.
