Experts offer individual homework help online
Robert Stewart, the man behind the "Ask Dr. Bob" Web service, is glad to answer any questions students may have about oceans.
But he draws the line when students ask him to complete entire homework assignments. When one e-mailed a list of 10 questions from an assignment on octopuses, he replied simply with a link to a Web site about them.
It’s all in a day’s work for Stewart, a Texas A&M University oceanography professor who responds to questions from teachers and other adults, too.
Stewart is one of scores of experts from academia, government and elsewhere offering free advice to students needing homework help — as long as they’re motivated by curiosity and aren’t merely lazy.
