Question

Slow time, so does anyone want to learn or just get answers?

Answer 1

Some yes and some no. You can usually tell by the way the question is posted. If it's basic algebra I usually just give the answers unless they ask for steps.

Answer 2

From an optimist's perspective, I think everyone wants to learn, but some might need answers due to time issue.

Answer 3

Yea, I was very happy when I asked how I got the answers, but most don't even seem to care.

Answer 4

"Time issue" sounds like me back when I was looking how to do algebra, last minute things

Answer 5

and I usually put after the answer "post if you need explanation."
I don't think most who just want answers are on a time constraint. I think they are taking an online courses and just want answers because they hate math.

Answer 6

Just an easy way out. Thats how I feel about it, but with easier math problems I see a lot of repition and I wish people would just try to get the hang of it cause it'd make it easier for the rest of their problems.

Answer 7

like the question below. that person didn't even try the problem first. you can tell "kaitlyn" just wants answers.
Yeah when I recognize the same name posting the same problems again and again with no effort to understand the material, I lose a little faith. But some do care, so I stay on here.

Answer 8

See I do about the same, the person meow yesterday just wanted answer so I helped him w/ answer and tried to explain. The person pokemon today took what I helped him with and went to help others, it was a boost of confidence.

Answer 9

When I find someone mass posting, such as the previously mentioned kaitlynw, I'll answer the first few I see, then deliberately skip any others that are the same type of problem. I usually type out a brief explanation of what is going on, so they can figure out the other stuff on their own.
