Graduate students who come to office hours to get walked through every step will quickly lose help. There's a balance between trying to unnecessary stubbornness and unnecessary helplessness that students must walk to be successful :-) | |
| Sep 27, 2017 at 22:59 | comment | added | corsiKa | I think it also would not be in anyone's best interest that someone who is trying to research something novel and original is roadblocked by something trivial. Consider the parallel in the workplace: a senior member of a development team might forget some parameters to a function call and ask someone else. Even Jon Skeet has asked 48 questions on Stack Overflow! | |
