And mind your words:

I can understand easily from the solution..

No you can't..

Answer 49

@waterineyes the man point is to make the student understand .if he or she is satisfied with the answer then to me it is ok .thanks!

Answer 50

@waterineyes You should mind yours as well. If you can, why can't I? I'd rather just leave this problem alone. You are making it bigger. But if you are the only one that can tell the moderator (-.-) then please do, because I will know what to say.

Answer 51

Good bye.

Answer 52

You are not giving knowledge you are giving just the solution..

And for your solution you can check what she did for second problem you gave.. @sami-21

Answer 53

@sami-21 Don't answer her. Just tell her to tell the moderators, I will deal with this myself. Ignore her response.

Answer 54

I won't tell it to the moderator or anybody else..

But in future you will be having regret of this thing...

Answer 55

@waterineyes No, please tell.

Answer 56

there is a difference in just a solution and solution completely step by step guided . so that he/she can understand without help of anyone else .
and i am not used to of giving just answers have look at my responses .
thanks.

Answer 57

And moderator will deal with @sami-21 first who gave the whole solution directly..

@sami-21

Please read:

http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

Answer 58

Take care you both..

Have a nice day..

Answer 59

The code of conduct does not directly state "Do not give the answer," it simply says "encourage" which means he/she RECOMMENDS not telling the answer. @waterineyes Knowing vocabulary helps.

Answer 60

yes i have that .thanks
i think it means just do not give the answer without any steps . just like some people are used to of answering question by solving it on programmable websites . and posting answers with out any steps
i did not give 'just' the answer . i completely showed the whole steps how i got to the end of the solution .
thanks

Answer 61

Moderator is here itself .can decide who is wrong/guilty.

Answer 62

I honestly don't care who's wrong or right, I just wanted to get help.

Answer 63

Answer is one thing and solution is different thing.. @sakigirl

Answer 64

Did @sami-21 helped you @sakigirl ??

Answer 65

Mr @cshalvey pleases guide us regarding the CoC thanks .

Answer 66

Yes, I looked back at her work. @waterineyes

Answer 67

Then what is the problem you faced when he gave you the second question??

Why was that not right???
@sakigirl

Can you explain the reason??

Answer 68

Yes, I forgot to distribute the negative sign to the second fraction, therefore causing me to get it wrong.

Answer 69

@sami-21 's work did help me realize and find my answer.

Answer 70

Ok..
Then tell me what is the final answer??

Answer 71

thanks @sakigirl you just forgot to distribute the minus sighn. @waterineyes now u happy. she got it without my help.

Answer 72

ha ha ha..

@sami-21 if you taught her step by step then she could do it in first go...

Answer 73

@waterineyes It isn't the time for snarky, mean remarks. Please be mature about this.

Answer 74

@waterineyes please do not make it a fight . i just wanted to help her the best i could . i did as far as i could . i am here just to help not to fight. so please stop it now. m sorry if i did hurt you. and plz stop it now. thanks .

Answer 75

And if I am right then do not teach her on direct messaging...

Now you can all leave..

I am mature you need to be mature I guess @sakigirl

The jpg file that @sami-21 gave will not be with you at every moment so that you can find the step for applying distributive property..

Well Done.. @sakigirl

Answer 76

moderator can see i my message record i did not teach her by direct message.

Answer 77

I understand, but you are assuming things right now. I am not direct messaging @sami-21 and neither do I just get answers from people. I question them step by step on how they solved it and how they get their answer until I understand. That is how I did it with the user dpaInc. Because of his steps, I now know how to factor.

Answer 78

Plus, I don't see what's wrong with her teaching me through direct message. That way, it'll be between us, and no other outside interference. I emphasize on the outside interference @waterineyes

Answer 79

@ the best way to teach is completely solve step by step.
@waterineyes just like in textbooks examples are not with you every time but you learn from them.

Answer 80

@waterineyes Thanks for your concern, but I am old enough to know what I am doing, and what to do. You don't have to supervise on how others' work, we have moderators for that. We all have our different ways of learning. You have your method, and I have my method.

Answer 81

*others.

Answer 82

And that solvation of step by step is done by @sakigirl and not you @sami-21

you have to do just tell her that here denominators are same combine the numerator instead of providing whole solution..

Answer 83

@waterineyes We all have our different styles of learning. I am not going to learn that way that satisfies you.

Answer 84

@waterineyes my response was self Explanatory . Moderator can see this by itself.
thanks.

Answer 85

And that I can see by looking at your first answer: x-6 etc etc.. @sakigirl

Answer 86

Everybody has different learning styles, and teaching methods. And people learn from their mistakes. I did, didn't I? You don't need to be sarcastic. You brought it up in your snarky remark before.

Answer 87

Thanks everybody here..

@sakigirl you will know in future about this thing...

Answer 88

@waterineyes thank you so much.

Answer 89

Welcome @sami-21

Answer 90

@waterineyes And you just keep in mind that some people are visual learners, step by step learners, hands on learners, and etc. No people learn the same way. You have your way of teaching, and @sami-21 has her way of teaching, and I have MY way of learning. Keep in mind that no one is the same when it comes to learning and teaching. If my way of learning doesn't satisfy you, you have to live with that, and help me with your best abilities as a tutor, without criticizing others.
