I think this kind of posts have to be DELETED by administrator 👿

Where, in this site, does it write: "We do your homework for free!!!" Nowhere….
At least TRY to do it yourself.

Is this sticky? The whole point of school is learning. If you like copying take a typing class. You can do it man just understand the topic and your smiling

Caveat emptor.

e. i do not know, so I am choosing this wrong answer

Took me all of 20 minutes to do that without a text and I make to claims to know what I’m talking about. It would have taken a little longer if I had bothered to look up a few things and to read things off a codon table. If I’m wrong and you copy down my wrong answer, too bad. See, the point is to learn something, not just to take the bleeping test. – As I see others are trying to say as well.

That should be…I make no claim to know what I’m talking about…

Sorry. I don’t mean to be too rough on you. It’s a problem of sorts when people post what appears to be a homework assignment and don’t give too many additional details. You may have had your own answers to the questions–I’ll take you at your word–but I would have liked to see what you thought the correct answers were and maybe why. That would have given me a better opportunity to correct (or at least argue about) answers I thought were incorrect. Instead, it’s like having a page of 50 questions thrown in my face with a request to give you answers. OK, I know you didn’t exactly say it that way, but it feels like it from this end. For myself, I don’t have "ethical" problems about giving answers away–for free even–just because a) it’s fun and b) it’s good review for me. And there’s no pressure on me, because I only have to think I know the answer. It would be nice if there was some learning going on, but there’s only so much one can do. Either both parties are participants, or they’re not. I can only hope that you learned some biology/biochemistry either through this exchange or through your course.

This long post hurts my eyes

BCH stop lying, if u wanetd to compare answers you would have posted the answer in the first place, which would have made things faster if we just pointed out your mistake instead of having to do the whole test. I seriously hope after taking this class for the second time you pass it this time, because biology is not the career for you.

yep…..

That all seems really unfair. Im in microbiology also and I was lucky to find this site the other day when I was working on my lab report, and so far each time I look through the forums and somebody posts some work they need help with everyone says to look things up. Its not that easy to look everything up! This is the best site ive found and it doesnt even have everything, but the people on here do know a lot more, so maybe if you’re able to help a student like myself with questions in an assignment or lab report then you should.
Its not that we’re looking for an easy way out and someone to do our work for us, we’re just learning all of this and i know i find it really hard! If i’m coming on here its so that hopefully I can find a better explanation or someone to help me, it’s not so easy to answer my homework when I don’t understand what chapter and everywhere i look its all the same explanation with words that i don’t understand, and then looking up the words doesnt make it any easier.
so PLEASE, if you can help and just explain something than do so.
Sorry for the rant but im studying and looking at forums here hoping theres explanations and all i keep finding is people asking for explanations and all everyone says is to look it up.
