We mods have noticed that "homework like" questions have been appearing with increasing frequency as the school semester draws to a close. While homework questions are allowed here, if you do post them please be upfront about it, so the community doesn't feel like you're trying to dupe anyone. (We considered adding a "homework" tag, but we weren't sure that was necessarily a good idea. We didn't want to appear to be encouraging people to post their homework...) In any event, feel free to ignore and/or downvote posts that seem like obvious "do my homework" requests. Nobody has any obligation to do someone else's homework.

If you have any strong feelings on this issue, or ideas about what (if anything) could/should be done about homework-ish postings, then feel free to leave a comment here, or drop us a mod mail with the "message the moderators" link in the sidebar.
