[Elgin Clock]

What an intereresting scenario.
As much as I would like to say some homework taken home is free reign & thus open to help by others, if this "no outside help" rule was instituted in this particular assignment, then I would tend to just go with the rule.

You get to ask for help with every other homework assignment, whereas this assignment is testing YOU as an individual. Just go with it.


On another related (& potentially conflicting) note, I don't see how this is helping you.
Is this testing your ability to quiz independently?
If so, then why is it a take-home quiz?
I would expect the rule could & would be more monitored if it was an in-class quiz where the teacher was present & able to monitor the rule set in place about no external help.

Say I followed the rules perfectly, & still had trouble with the assignment & bombed the quiz*, & then talked to a classmate who mentioned they got help with it & aced the quiz.
Wouldn't I feel resentment towards that other student?
Would I advise the teacher of this peer's breaking of the rules?
Would I think that was a bad rule since it can't be enforced?

I don't agree with, nor see the point of your teacher's thought process behind this rule to be honest.
Why make rules they can't enforce & would have the potential to just turn one student on another if it was a critical quiz?
Why ask for that kind of trouble as a teacher?
Seriously.




*That has happened to me before btw. I had a serious discussion with the teacher afterwards, & they said nothing (ie: the rule they set in place) would change for the future. I dislike stubborn teachers.
