Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the effectiveness of urgent math help requested within a very short timeframe of three hours. Participants explore the feasibility of providing assistance under such constraints, considering the nature of mathematical problem-solving and the expectations set by the requester.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses frustration over the lack of effort shown by the requester, noting that the problems were presented in an unreadable format without any work shown.
  • Another participant questions the practicality of expecting effective help in just three hours, suggesting that mathematics typically requires more time for understanding and practice.
  • There is a suggestion that a longer timeframe, such as three days, would be more realistic for meaningful assistance, though even that may not guarantee success.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the request for urgent help in three hours is unrealistic, but there is disagreement regarding the level of effort and seriousness of the requester.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the unclear presentation of problems and the lack of context regarding the specific mathematical concepts involved, which may affect the ability to provide effective help.

No one is going to post all that. Which ones are giving you the most trouble?

Well, the three hours are up but I'm not sure I should feel sad about this. This person posted a large number of problems, showing no work at all. He did not even bother to type the problems in, just making dark, unreadable photocopies.

It clearly wasn't at all important to him so why should we care?

There's a problem in this sentence. You're asking us to "help" and same time you say "asap". Kindly note, mathematics isn't usually something, where you can get help fast, but you would need time to think and understand and do exercises. No one can do all that in "3 hours" nor "asap", 3 days would've been more realistic, and it could still fail because time is too short.
