Okay so this site is called Ask Me Help Desk but your not allowed to get Home work HELP.
What's the point of that?

[Curlyben]

We do HELP with homework, but we will NOT do all the work for the poster.

Please refer to the stickies on ALL the homework help boards: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/other-...board-b-u.html

[Marzapan741]

Ohh I see..

Someone ocne told me they don't do homework help at all.

[Curlyben]

Well when the member simply does a copy and paste of their homework with ZERO attempt at answering the question, we get slightly miffed, to say the least.

[Marzapan741]

That makes sense.

What if they don't know it at all?

[Curlyben]

Then they need to ask their teachers.

[Marzapan741]

Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of a help site? Like.. If you don't understand something you ask for help.

It seems pointless to wait a long long time to ask your teacher who might even yell at you for not doing your assignment.

Just saying. :)

Go back to post #2

I do not object to helping a person search for the answer. I do object to someone TELLING me that they need the answer asap. Like not a request, just a demand. Where has politeness gone? I can find many things online and will help in that way and sometimes I will even give a hint to the right direction, but no, I generally do not give the answer. Then it becomes my homework and I should get the grade. But there was one person who stated she could absolutely not understand what was asked and what do you do then? How did that person even make it into college was my wonderment.

[Marzapan741]

My opinion, it doesn't matter who is giving the help, its just homework, not everyone can understand everything.

[Emland]

I saw a request just last week from someone wanting one of us to do her whole case study! Gave us the link for the reading assignment and everything.

I help, if they show that they are trying to understand the concept (and I know anything about the subject.) Most just want someone to do the work for them.

[Marzapan741]

Well something like that is deffinatly not acceptable to me lol.

I can reason with one question but if it's the whole assignment most likely I won't help.

[Leidenschaftlich für Wahr]

Just Google it. There's lots of sites out there that give away answers, and lots more forum sites, probably even some homework ones haha.
Just don't 'miff' anyone on those sites. Lol

[templelane]

I like to lead the person to the answer so they know how they should approach it when the get another question (which they will) again.

"If you give a man a fish he eats for one day, teach him to fish and he eats everyday."
Kind of like that but with equations!

You aren't quite following the rationale here. Lets look at these two questions:

1) I have an assignment to create a database in Access that will run a Video Rental store. Can you tell me how to do that?

2) I have an assignment to create a database in Access that will run a Video Rental store. I have setup tables for Customer, Videos and Rentals. How do I create a form that shows all rentals for a customer?

Do you see the difference? In 1) the poster is asking us to do their asignment for them. In 2) the poster has shown they have started doing the work, but hit a stumbling block they need help with. Guess which one gets an answer?

The fact is that homework assignments are generally not handed out out of the blue. They reflect something studied IN the class. Therefore, the poster should have at least some knowledge of what they need to do. But when someone simply copies and pastes the assignment question into a post, we tend to ignore thoses since they are wanting us to do their work for them.

[Marzapan741]

So you find this unacceptable?

[ScottGem]

No I would find that acceptable. It shows you are trying to reason out the answer.

[Marzapan741]

Oh okay that makes sense haha :d

Yea I just thought Homework wasn't allowed her at all,

[Curlyben]

Here is an example of an unacceptable post with regards homework: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/physic...aw-138412.html
