i hate when people send out mass emails trying to get answers for homework.


for example, i had a geology test today. last night this chick sent an email to like everyone in the class asking if anyone had the answers to the study guide so she could "check her answers". i sure as hell wasn't sending them to anyone. i don't believe people when they say give me all your answers so i can "check" mine. they might as well just say will someone give me the answers because i don't want to do the work myself.


are you the kind to help people like this? or do you think everyone is just tryin to scam you?

I hate when people send out mass emails to get lecture notes.

I wouldn't share my full notes with them, probably just give them selected page numbers where I found my information from.

HELL NO I don't help people like this. A few days ago a girl wanted to see my completed lab just so she could "understand the concepts" better. Bitch, I didn't understand the concepts either, but I LEARNED THEM myself. Why shouldn't you do it too?! I'd totally help her if she asked me a question or something, but sending my whole lab? Not gonna happen.

exactly. if someone has a real question, they can just ask me to explain it rather than asking me to hand over all my answers to help them understand.

I hate people like that. I always say no to people like that, because when I see their paper, there are so many blanks. They are just too lazy to do work for themselves, and they wonder why they fail tests.

I really dont care because whats important to me is im actually learning the concept while mr.dumbass is just a copycat. Besides the hand of god will come thundering down come exam day.

However I dont allow people to copy my lab notes because thats kinda pointless.

i don't let people copy my homework for that reason. plus some people aren't smart enough to put the answers into their own words.

Exactly.

I'll sometimes ask people in my classes if I need clarification with something (right now that's only math class, though). It doesn't benefit me at all to ask for answers, because I'm not going to be able to understand how to get the answer and the people I ask are probably going to be annoyed.

When I was in high school I had a couple classes with this girl who just go around and copy other people's work... I'd always try to avoid her. She was in special ed and would go to the test room and yell at the aid if she didn't give her the answers.

I don't have a problem explaining something to someone, but they need to do their own work.

Omg that sounds like this girl in my math class. She does that all the time. hjrfwnbk#$@Wetr

But it depends on the person, for me. Like if I know them well & know that they really want to compare answers, I'll hand over my assignment. If not, I'll walk them through it.
