The most help I would give would be where to look for the method of answering the question. That's actually more helpful than giving the answer (teaches looking for the source, resource use, etc., plus the doing the problem).

Of course, that would only be if this was an open-book assignment. If it's straight memory, then it's sorry, buddy, but I'd be more of a friend if I didn't help you [insert word for not doing the work here].

As for reporting rule-breakers, I'd do that if and only if I had sure proof. If it's rumors, sketchy stories, suspicion, I wouldn't.

Me personally, I want to know how I'm doing, not how the dude next to me is doing.
