| Oct 15, 2014 at 16:28 | comment | added | ff524 | @Compass I don't really see any mention of "How to get proof" in either question, just a mention that the OP has no proof. Regardless, this question asks "How to deal with this," and so does the other question. But if the community feels otherwise, they are free to cast reopen votes. | |
| Oct 15, 2014 at 16:25 | comment | added | Compass | @ff524 I feel like the question this is linked to actually is two questions in one. First: How to get proof? Second: How to deal with it? It deals with the second question quite well, but the first, not so much. | |

| Oct 15, 2014 at 16:14 | comment | added | ff524 | @Name I'm not convinced that this makes the question substantially different - as far as I can tell, the answer there applies well to your situation, too. If you want to try and convince others, you can edit your question to clarify the difference, and try to get reopen votes from other users who may agree with you. | |
| Oct 15, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | Compass | You could also possibly narrow down who it is by giving every student a unique set of problems by email. 10 problems in a pool is 252 combinations. I'd prefer you to use this to warn the student rather than for disciplinary action, though. I'm sure all of us here have used the internet for help on homework at some point. | |
| Oct 15, 2014 at 15:58 | comment | added | Name | @ff524 Although there is a similarity between my question and the question pointed out by mhwombat and you, I think my question is different. In that question, the student has asked one of the assignment questions (maybe the difficult one), but in our situation, the student has asked all of the questions (including the easy ones). | |
