To earn the prestigious Homework Helper title, individuals must consistently provide quality assistance in the Homework Forums. There is no set number of posts required; instead, recognition is based on the quality of help provided. Nominations for titles like Homework Helpers and Science Advisors are made by current staff, including other Homework Helpers and Administrators. The process emphasizes expertise and the impact of contributions rather than a specific posting threshold. Overall, dedication to helping others is key to receiving these titles.

I was wondering how can one get the prestigious ((-:) titles of homework helper, how many posts one needs to help others in order to get this, or there's something else going on in the process of choosing them?

Thanks in advance, LQG.

There is no specific 'criteria' for the awarding of a medal. Homework Helpers are awarded medals for consistently providing quality help to students in the Homework Forums, whereas Science Advisors a recognized for their expertise in a particular field as well as the quality of their posts in the technical forums.

Nominations for Homework Helpers and Science Advisors are made by the staff (current Homework Helpers, Science Advisors, Mentors and Administrators).

Edit: Speedy Gonz-Kurdt beat me to it :-p
 
OK, then no medal for me cause I am not a frequent user.

I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
