It's that time of year again: midterms season! "Ask" subs like ours get flooded from mid-October to December with requests for help on school projects and essays.

This is a reminder that we are not here to help you with your homework. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Evaluating your thesis statement
• Editing your paper
• Suggesting you a topic
• Filling out study guides
• Interpreting your professor's notes

While we understand that not everyone has equal access to resources at their university, it is important that students are active in all stages of the research process, from developing a research question to finding literature.

We do allow requests for source recommendations. These should be as specific as possible and must show some evidence of prior research.
