If they're willing to ask for homework answers on the net (not thinking for example that their professor might be *reading* the thing) then they're willing to lie about it being research. When Arnie Rosenberg was here at Duke, he used to encourage us to work together in groups on his homework problems, but then write the problems up separately. He felt that gave enough divergence that he got an idea of who was ahead and who was behind. Charlie Martin (crm@cs.duke.edu,mcnc!duke!crm)
