Homework Issues

Good questions:
We should look at homework as would the professor teaching the class who assigned the homework. I do not think that teachers want their homework answered on forums. They want the student to work it on their own... and if they can't do it, then work harder
How do you know questions are homework? You can't always know, but generally when a poster first registers and then asks a generic homework-like question, then that is enough to know. With the poster you are talking about, I was generous and did not delete the poster immediately. It is an obvious homework problem to me.... no real world explaination of use in a daily work environment. Perhaps it was not homework.... we can't be 100 percent sure.... however, if it looks like a duck, smells like a duck, quacks like a duck........
These are judgement calls, and we reserve the right to make that judgement. The homework rule is not for the benefit of the student as much as it is for the integrity of the boards in the eyes of the teachers and professors. Students who cheat, will do so regardless of what we do here. Good students will not ask others to do their work for them......
For those unsure, just don't answer, or ask the original poster to discuss the real-world example first. Getting them to discuss the real world example will flush them out.... hopefully.
Anyway, a clever student will couch the homework in a 'real world example' so there is no way to know 100 percent ... we just need to discourage it..... (without becoming the HW police).
Suggestions always helpful and appreciated.....
