Homework, read before you post

[canalon]

The policy on this forum about homework seems to need clarification:

If you did not research before you ask your question there will be no answer, but sarcasm and maybe warnings. Nobody learn by copying an answer from the net without thinking about it. Besides, who knows how knowledgeable is the person answering your post is?
On the other hand, we will gladly help if you have problems because your research (from the internet or your text book, the important is not wher it comes from, but that you have done some research) only lead to unclear/ambiguous/conflicting answers. We will discuss, argue, look for sources and guide you in the way.
But the onus is on you to prove that you did some research. Something as simple as " I think the answer is...(because.., am I right?) OR (but I have doubts because...)" or "I found this and that and that does not really make sense..." is enough.

So be warned, and be afraid, be very afraid if you break this rule. We look nice but we can bite (ban?).
