Mathslover :
"I have been recently discussing a lot with those users who think that giving direct solutions is nothing wrong. And, after those discussions, I personally think that it is nothing wrong in giving solutions (having each step explained).

Though, I know that interaction and discussion are the key aim of OpenStudy. We want the askers to do the questions themselves. But, it is not always possible to interact with the asker.

i) One doesn't have much time to interact with a user on a single question for 1-1.5 hours. Being practical, it is very difficult for a user to do such interaction with the asker.

ii) What if the asker is not online? Or is only available for 5-10 minutes ?

Most of the times, the askers either don't reply or reply after a lot of time. I usually ask them first that what have they tried yet? But, most of the times, they don't respond at the earliest. Interactions , discussions are only possible when the both users (asker and helper) support each other. If the asker will not respond, then the helper will not be able to help him. If the helper will not help, then the asker will not get help.

iii) Some misinterpret the meaning of "Direct Solutions" - In this context, from "Direct Solutions" , I am referring to a complete solution (not having an answer at the end, just asking the user to continue from a particular step).

Now, if the asker has any problem in understanding a specific step, he can request the helper to explain that particular step.

OpenStudy CoC doesn't say anything against the direct solutions, and so, I know that those are *allowed* , but are not much appreciated.

I think, either we should search for a way such that the askers give quick responses (which is quite difficult) or we should appreciate the Direct Solutions.

I don't know whether any of the admins/mods/ambis are against or in the favor of such way of helping students, and thus, I have put this here. I want to know your views on a user helping by giving direct Solutions.
