|Based on the number of messages of this type from this individual over the
|last few months, it looks like she is asking the net to do her homework.
|If this is in fact the case, then she is being dishonest. If it is not
|then I expect to hear from her to the contrary. In that case I'll
|apologize.
|
|If students are given access to the net and then use it in the manner
|suggested above, then the only recourse that a Professor has is to
|restrict student access to the net. That would be a shame.
|
|Those of us on the net should NOT participate in any activity of this
|nature.

	I'm at a loss to understand how this request
	constitutes dishonesty if it comes from a
	student. Surely the net is a valid resource
	of information just as a textbook is (such as
	youw own very excellent ones). In any case
	one would either provide some pointers to
	reference material, or else a short tutorial -
	how is the recipient of such information
	cheating?

Puzzled,
