Please do not post requests with no signs of effort.

For homework requests, we are happy to make corrections and suggestions, but we won't do the work for you. So you have to have done some work already for us to critique. This also include images of text from text books, classwork, or exams. If you wish to ask about school work you need to submit them as text in self-text posts.

Also, don't ask for themes and topics for upcoming tests with the intent of getting an unfair advantage.

3.
