    OK, so a homework question comes in: Lazy, lazy, lazy[^] He can't even be bothered to hide that this is homework, and he hasn't done it. He pastes the whole task in as a question. Not even a polite "Please help" or "I'm stuck". Just the task. So, I - joking, but to shift it from the "unanswered" pile without deleting it - answer

    OK - done.
    Post your tutors email, and I'll send it directly for you.

    Normally, they are bright enough to realise that won't work - the tutor will get the homework from my email, rather than the OP's. So. He does. Now I have the OP tutors email. Should I: 1) Reply to student, saying do it yourself or I'll email the tutor and tell him. 2) Reply to tutor, telling him. 3) Send a load of old rubbish to the tutor and get the OP a failing grade. 4) Send the tutor a good answer in the OP's name. 5) Send the tutor a good answer in the OP's name plastered with copyright notices to me. 6) Just ignore it and let the OP panic. I do know that (4) is not going to happen. I really don't quite know what to do here!:confused:

    You got yourself deep in trouble, haven't you? There are many more choices: 7) reply to the student: the tutor refuses to accept third-party answers 8) reply to the student you've sent a message to the tutor that the homework assignment was below average CodeProject homework questions, and we refuse to stoop so low. 9) ask the tutor whether you can still join the class, as it seems all very interesting 10) send the tutor a horrible answer and apologize for not understanding anything, blaming him for not explaining it well in the first place 11) send the tutor a mail asking for the principal's email address, so you can complain about poor homework assignments and CodeProject abuse. etc. etc. Whatever you do, we want to read the whole story with all the gory details. :laugh:

      That is likely to fail, the OP will assume the homework has been sent. Eventually he will blame Griff and not understand it was all his own fault. :)

                              Number 2 and make sure the tutor gets a link to the question on CP.

                                OK, so a homework question comes in: Lazy, lazy, lazy[^] He can't even be bothered to hide that this is homework, and he hasn't done it. He pastes the whole task in as a question. Not even a polite "Please help" or "I'm stuck". Just the task. So, I - joking, but to shift it from the "unanswered" pile without deleting it - answer

                                OK - done.
                                Post your tutors email, and I'll send it directly for you.

                                Normally, they are bright enough to realise that won't work - the tutor will get the homework from my email, rather than the OP's. So. He does. Now I have the OP tutors email. Should I: 1) Reply to student, saying do it yourself or I'll email the tutor and tell him. 2) Reply to tutor, telling him. 3) Send a load of old rubbish to the tutor and get the OP a failing grade. 4) Send the tutor a good answer in the OP's name. 5) Send the tutor a good answer in the OP's name plastered with copyright notices to me. 6) Just ignore it and let the OP panic. I do know that (4) is not going to happen. I really don't quite know what to do here!:confused:

                                  2 with a link to both the question and this thread! You might get another member for CP and the tutor should be aware of the site anyway.

                                    Just write back to OP, that you have sent the mail to the tutor - and let him discuss this with his tutor directly. Hearing his explanation would be fun :rolleyes: -------Edit------------- On a second thought that e-Mail address might belong to himself/friend.

                                      Definatelly #2. Writting software is hard enough, we dont need to make it more difficult by having to do additional code maintenance created from people like that. I dont want to be mean, but hey, I dealt with a lot of incompetance from 3rd parties latelly.
