What is this?

A math homework generator that I initially wanted to be simple solution for my daughters.

I just wanted some simple equations for her to practice multiplication since I started teaching her.

Now it's become a mission to be something better or at least different from what else is out there.

I have discovered several other math homework generators, while some were very good, it didn't everything I wanted it to do. So I feel like I should continue to build upon it.

You’ve reached your account maximum for followed topics.

Whether you're a school student or a college student, homework is an essential part of the learning process. Fortunately, there are plenty of apps that can help you get your homework done, the only trouble is knowing which apps are best to download. If you're a student, read on to take a look at some of the best homework apps for Android and iPhone.

Do you need help with math, biology, history, or physics? Brainly is the homework app for you. Using the app for homework help is as straightforward as taking a photo, typing, or voice searching the question or equation and then waiting for an answer.

All the answers come from Brainly's online community of other students as well as experts from around the world. However, if you aren't happy with the answers, you also have the option to ask the app's AI tutor, Ginny.

Moreover, you can assist other students with their own homework by answering their questions. Which questions you help out with can be filtered according to school level and subject.

Download: Brainly for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

2. Photomath

Unlike Brainly, the Photomath app is a pretty straightforward homework app and has one single core focus—math. Photomath is truly one of the best apps to help you solve math problems , and it works similarly in that you merely have to scan the problem with your phone and the app gives you instant answers.

But Photomath doesn't stop there, the app actually breaks down the entire equation and gives you a step-by-step explanation of how it came to the solution. What's more, you can tap on each step to see an even more detailed animated lesson with voice instructions.

In addition, the Photomath app includes a built-in calculator where you can type the question out instead of snapping a photo.

Download: Photomath for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

3. Chegg Study

Chegg Study is an app that provides many different homework and study tools on various subjects. If you have a basic question, you can either snap a photo, upload an image, or type it out. On the other hand, you can just scan the barcode of the textbook you're using with your mobile phone to find answers.

Another tool Chegg Study includes is over 500 million free flashcards on subjects like astronomy, business, chemistry, and psychology. Alternatively, you can use the app to create your own set of flashcards.

But the Chegg Study app also comes in handy if you need help with a specific course. All you have to do is add the course and the app provides everything you need to ace it, like expert Q&A and exam prep. Alternatively, there are a selection of Chegg alternatives you can try , too.

Download: Chegg Study for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

4. Course Hero

To get help with your homework, all you have to do is ask Course Hero. And asking is super simple. You can type in your question, snap a picture, or upload a document. If you're looking for assistance with math homework, there's even a dedicated Scan to Calculate option.

Using the Course Hero app, you can keep a library of all your homework documents and any other learning materials you need if you're completing a course.

What's more, Course Hero is available in your web browser if you need access to AI-powered homework assistance and a range of study resources while using your laptop or PC.

Download: Course Hero for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

5. Bartleby

The Bartley app can solve your math homework problems in a single snap. Yet possibly the best part is the 24/7 homework help from actual tutors. Simply select the subject, type out the question, and add an optional image.

Once you've sent in your question, all you have to do is wait and pretty soon you'll get assistance from an expert with Masters or PhDs. However, there is another way to get homework help and that's by using the Search tab.

Type in what you're looking for, and you can filter through the solutions according to the solution type or subject. Alternatively, you can search for homework help based on the textbooks you're using.

Download: Bartleby for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

6. ScanSolve

Quick, uncomplicated, and to the point is what you can expect from this homework app. ScanSolve uses AI to answer your questions and covers subjects like math, English, and science.

As with many of the other apps on this list, using ScanSolve is as easy as taking a picture of the questions you are struggling with. From there, you can either read the explanation of the results or chat with the AI tutor if you're unsure of the answer you received.

Download: ScanSolve for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

7. Homework.ai

The Homework.ai app offers homework help using the power of artificial intelligence. Some of the subjects the app covers include art, biology, computer science, math, music, and a selection of languages like Spanish and German.

To get started, choose a subject, type out or audio record your question, and AI does the rest. For a quicker solution, you can simply scan the question using your mobile phone. Keep in mind that everything in the app is generated by AI, so you might need to double-check the answers if you're not 100% sure.

Along with answering your basic homework questions, Homework.ai can help you with language translation, rewriting text, and summarizing text.

Download: Homework.ai for iOS | Android (Free, subscription available)

8. Zookal Study

If you need homework help immediately, but you'd prefer to get it from an actual experienced tutor instead of AI, then Zookal Study is the app for you.

The best bit is that you won't have to wait hours for solutions to your questions—Zookal promises to deliver in as little as 20 minutes. Zookal keeps track of all your questions and answers, and you have access to a library of online solutions on the Zookal website.

The app centers on one main tool, Ask a Question, which is where you can type out or snap a picture of your homework question. Additionally, Zookal is a study app you can use in any browser with an impressive selection of online tools ranging from test prep and textbooks to flashcards and videos.

Download: Zookal Study for iOS | Android (Free, in-app purchases available)

Access Homework Help When You Really Need It

Have you ever been stuck trying to handle your homework all by yourself? Well, you don't have to. Now, getting homework help is as easy as downloading one or a couple of mobile apps.

There are a range of handy homework apps available, with some using artificial intelligence and some using expert online tutors. And the good news is that these homework apps can work wonders for both students in school and students in college.

How to deal with student putting their (home)work on github

While using github for source code is generally something I love to encourage, if a student puts their (computer science) homework there, it's generally easy for others to find and copy - which creates a temptation to use it as a "baseline" for their own (identical in most cases) homework - while I understand the benefits of using github (versioning, transitioning across machines easily, teamwork-capabilities), and the individual student who is using it has verified that it is indeed their account and can explain the code well, I still feel uncomfortable with it.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? how did you handle it? does the university have some sort of policy around publishing student-created work openly? (even if it is part of an assignment)?

As a side-note, my general policy regarding "very similar" assignments is that whomever submitted it first gets the points, and the other submissions do not receive any points, however I tend to ask the students to explain their code and how it works, why they chose X over Y, etc. in such cases first.

edit: I have been informed that there does exist a free version of github that students can use to host private repositories, and this is likely the course of action I will go with for the near future, however, there are several drawbacks:

• The student will be unable to showcase their work (i.e. a link to their github on their resume)
• The student will not be a student forever, and thus the repository won't be able to be private for free indefinitely
• I have very little control (and interest in policing it) once the class is over, so the student could decide to make the repository public once the class is over.

• 6 Bitbucket is free. –  Vaughan Hilts Commented Dec 12, 2014 at 4:38
• 10 GitHub private repositories are free for students: github.com/edu . As a teacher, you might also be able to get stuff. They call it "Request a discount", but for students the deal is "Micro account (normally $7/month) with five private repositories while you're a student" –  yakatz Commented Dec 12, 2014 at 4:44
• 2 Do note that Github takes forever to process a education account. –  Vaughan Hilts Commented Dec 12, 2014 at 5:02
• 6 What about a local git repository? If you want cloud backup, you could use it together with dropbox etc. –  RJ- Commented Dec 12, 2014 at 5:27
• 2 To be frank, points 2 and 3 you have absolutely no control over anyway. The easiest thing to do would be to subtly change the assignment so that "last year's solution" doesn't work. –  Fomite Commented Dec 12, 2014 at 14:39

Give students assignments where their work must address one of their personal interests. For example, instead of having every student program pizza maker, have each student program a machine to make their favorite food. This will make copy-and-paste cheating more difficult. It will also make students more interested and make your grading more interesting.

• 12 Makes it a lot harder on the autograder –  user2813274 Commented Dec 13, 2014 at 4:51
• 3 @user2813274 Providing individualized feedback will help student learn more, so it is worth it. –  Anonymous Physicist Commented Dec 13, 2014 at 17:19
• @user2813274: What exactly is that? I'm not a computer scientist, but I code for fun. Does it somehow access the complexity of the code? –  JNS Commented Dec 13, 2014 at 21:39
• 1 @user1997744 an autograder is a site where students can upload their code, have it executed, and give feedback if it passes/fails - basically the same as a unit test case, however I can keep the test cases hidden from the students such that they don't code against specific scenarios and miss the general solution. –  user2813274 Commented Dec 14, 2014 at 3:50
• 2 @user1997744 the auto-grader is an optional tool for the students to use before turning in an assignment (although it correlates quite well as to how they do typically..) –  user2813274 Commented Dec 14, 2014 at 22:48

I think your point 1 is fundamentally at odds with preventing homework sharing/copying. If someone can showcase their work, they can showcase it to their fellow students. Your points 2 and 3 suggest you want to re-use the same assignment over and over when teaching the class again, which makes this conflict even more inevitable. There's no way to allow students to share their work publically with anyone who might want to employ them, while also keeping it secret from their fellow students.

There's nothing you can do to keep everything a student does in your class hidden forever. I think the best solution is to require students to keep their work private during the class (using a Github edu account, Bitbucket, local git repo, whatever), then let them do whatever they want later. That means you will have to make new assignments every time you teach the class, but I think that is good practice anyway.

There are many things to balance here, and the "best" solution is somewhat subjective.

However, in my opinion, the educational benefit of allowing students to learn version control early far outweigh the increased risk of exposing their code to others who would cheat. If your students are planning to go on to work as programmers in industry, being skilled with version control is almost as valuable as being skilled with coding. Programming is not a solitary task these days, after all.

Another thing to consider: at my undergraduate university, there was no department-wide policy on public version control (and I don't remember any professors having such a policy). However, I remember hearing it suggested that posting code on a public GitHub violated the general policy against plagiarism. This sort of ambiguity is bad for everyone. Whatever you decide is the right way to go, I would recommend stating your expectations explicitly with respect to public version control.

It seems one point that is missing in this discussion is that at least in USA students own the copyright of their (nontrivial) work. As copyright holders they can reproduce, distribute, and display their works. Of course they can also create derivative works. So restriction on students' right may not even be legal.

• 1 Copyright requires that a certain "threshold of originality" is exceeded. A solution to a simple programming task may not be original enough to warrant copyright. –  lighthouse keeper Commented May 11, 2020 at 11:39
• If a solution to a simple programming task isn't sufficiently original to merit copyright, it's probably not sufficiently original that this student posting their work matters in the grant scheme of things -- solutions to simple programming tasks like that are readily available online. –  Sparksbet Commented Jun 29, 2020 at 23:08

My focus on programming assignments has moved to having students copy all they want from all the GitHub repositories in the world, but to reference them in a report about the process by which they solved the problem, written in complete sentences. This is seen as cruel and unusual punishment by first-year students, but when former students meet me in town after graduation that is what they thank me for, that I taught them to write reports. And that their reports make a great reference for themselves.

We can't police this behavior, so we have to try and educate people. We teach them to value other people's work by citing it or giving credit, and we insist that they reflect on what they did. So it is fine to say: I got this code from Nancy, and then I asked Steve how to put widgets on this, and as a result I finally got this to work. That makes it easier for me to judge what the contribution of the student is.

It is more work for me, so I have gone to having the students do pair programming, assigning them random partners each week. That's a good exercise for them as well, and they get to know each other better.

You may try automated plagiarism detection, such as MOSS developed by Stanford. It detects similarities among code files, somewhat regardless of how the variables are named, the order of execution, etc. Then a human could manually look at the similarities and judge whether it is a case of plagiarism. Moreover, as I recall, MOSS allows input of shared codebase, meaning that the "starter code" provided to all students would not count towards similarity.

• 2 It "tries" to detect plagiarism. There are a few other programs out there, but none actually detect all plagiarism. –  Debora Weber-Wulff Commented May 11, 2020 at 21:15

The optimal solution is to accompany the automatic code grading with a human face-to-face code-review, where the students must explain their code to you, and you can also ask them to make minor changes onlile to verify that they know what they did. If you do this, you do not have to worry about copying since the code-review will tell you how well they know the material.

The problem is that this solution requires a lot of work - at least 15 minutes per student per week. I do not have enough budget for this, so I use a sub-optimal solution: I make the weekly assignments only 10%-20% of the final grade, so that the incentive to copy is minimal. Meanwhile, I make sure that the final exam contains questions that are very similar to the assignments. Thus, students who have made the homework by themselves will have a higher grade in the final exam than copiers.

It is homework and not an exam. The students who just use it without understanding it risk to fail the exam and that's their problem not yours. They are all grownups and need to decide themself if they want to learn something or just to copy something.

As homework usually does not influence the final grade but only the admission to the exam, it is not worth to try to prevent it.

And github is one thing, but students have internal fileservers and wikis and other ways to organize how to exchange current homework or even a complete set of assignments from last year.

Make sure that everything that gets an actually relevant grade is not done without supervision and be a bit more relaxed about homework that should just help the students to learn and is not used to document their skill like a graded exam.

If you actually see that the code is copied between two students, you may not accept it. But this should be done by comparing their solutions not by monitoring github. They may copy in private or they may have worked together and you need to decide it based on the submission of their work.

When they are actually able to re-use code from the previous year, you may consider changing the assigments in a way that the code cannot be used without at least understanding it.

• I hear chem students in the library talking about cheating their final exams like they cheated the second exam. These people are going to fail Chem 2 hard; they won't make it through Orgo. At a point, you know so little about the topic you can't even figure out how to cheat. –  John Moser Commented Dec 15, 2023 at 14:40

The 5 Best Homework Help Apps You Can Use

General Education

We know that homework can be a real drag. It’s time-consuming, and can be difficult to complete all on your own. So, what can you do if you’re struggling?

You might try looking online or in the app store! If you’ve already looked around you probably know that there are tons of homework sites for students and homework apps out there that all say they can help you improve your grades and pass your classes. But, can you trust them? And what are the best apps for homework help?

Below, we answer these questions and more about homework help apps–free and paid . We’ll go over: 

• The basics of homework help apps
• The cost of homework help apps
• The five best apps for homework help
• The pros and cons of using apps that help you with homework 
• The line between “learning” and “cheating” when using apps that help you with homework
• Tips for getting the most out of homework sites for students 

So let’s jump in!

The Basics About Apps that Help You With Homework–Free and Paid

The bottom line is, homework sites and homework apps are intended to help you complete your take-home assignments successfully. They provide assistance that ranges from answering questions you submit through a portal all the way to one-on-one tutoring, depending on the help you need! 

The big plus for both homework help apps and websites is that they usually offer help on-demand. So if you can’t make it to after school tutoring, or if you're studying late into the night (it happens!), you can still access the help you need! 

If you’re specifically looking for an answer to the question: “what is the best homework help website ?,” you can check out our article on those here! [LINK COMING SOON]

What’s the Difference Between a Homework Help Website and an App?

So if they’re both designed to give you a little boost with your take-home assignments, what makes homework apps and websites different from one another? First off, homework help websites are optimized to be used on a desktop, while apps are designed to be run natively on mobile devices. So depending on which devices you have access to, you may decide to use a website instead of an app…or vice versa! 

The other big difference between homework help apps and websites is that they sometimes offer different features. For instance, with the Photomath app, you’ll be able to submit photos of math problems instead of having to type everything out, which is easier to do by using an app on your phone. 

If you’re trying to decide whether to go with a website or app, the good news is that you may not have to. Some homework help websites also have companion apps, so you can have the best of both worlds!

What Makes a Homework Help App Worth Using

Apps that help you with homework should ideally help you actually learn the material you’re struggling with, and/or help you turn in your work on time. Most of the best apps for homework help allow you to ask questions and provide answers and explanations almost immediately. And like we mentioned earlier, many of these apps let you send a picture of a question or problem instead of writing it all out.

But homework help apps offer more than just quick answers and explanations for your assignment questions. They also offer things like educational videos, lectures, tutorials, practice tests and quizzes, math solving tools, proofreading services, and even Q&A with experts.

And the best part is, most offer these services 24/7! 

What You Should Look Out For

When it comes to homework help, there are lots–and we mean lots –of apps willing to prey on desperate students. Before you download any apps (and especially before you pay to sign up for any services), read reviews of the app to ensure you’re working with a legitimate company. 

Keep in mind: the more a company advertises help that seems like cheating, the more likely it is to be a scam. Actual subject matter experts aren’t likely to work with those companies. Remember, the best apps for homework help are going to help you learn the concepts needed to successfully complete your homework on your own. 

If you’re not sure if an app is legitimate, you can also check to see if the app has an honor code about using their services ethically , like this one from Brainly. (We’ll go over the difference between “homework help” and “cheating” in more detail a little later!) 

How Expensive Are Apps That Help You With Homework?

A word to the wise: just because a homework help app costs money doesn’t mean it’s a good service. And, just because a homework help app is free doesn’t mean the help isn’t high quality. To find the best apps, you have to take a close look at the quality and types of information they provide! 

Most of the apps out there allow you to download them for free, and provide at least some free services–such as a couple of free questions and answers. Additional services or subscriptions are then charged as in-app purchases. When it comes to in-app purchases and subscriptions for homework help, the prices vary depending on the amount of services you want to subscribe to. Subscriptions can cost anywhere from $2 to around $60 dollars per month, with the most expensive app subscriptions including some tutoring (which is usually only available through homework help websites.)

The 5 Best Apps for Homework Help

Okay, now that you’re up to speed on what these apps are and how they can help you, we’ll run you through the best five apps you can use. 

Keep in mind that even though we recommend all of these apps, they tend to excel at different things. We’ve broken these apps into categories so that you can pick the best one for your needs! 

Best Free Homework Help App: Khan Academy

• Price: Free!
• Best for: Practicing tough material 

While there are lots of free homework help apps out there, this is our favorite because it actually supports learning, rather than just providing answers. The Khan Academy app works like the website, and offers the same services. It’s full of information and can be personalized to suit your educational needs. 

After you download the app, you choose which courses you need to study, and Khan Academy sets up a personal dashboard of instructional videos, practice exercises, and quizzes –with both correct and incorrect answer explanations–so you can learn at your own pace. 

As an added bonus, it covers more course topics than many other homework help apps, including several AP classes.

Best Paid Homework Help App: Brainly

• Price: $18 for a 6 month subscription, $24 for a year 
• Best for: 24/7 homework assistance 

Brainly is free to download and allows you to type in questions (or snap a pic) and get answers and explanations from both fellow students and teachers. Plus, subject matter experts and moderators verify answers daily, so you know you’re getting quality solutions! The downside is that you’re limited to two free answers per question and have to watch ads for more if you don’t pay for a subscription. 

That said, their subscription fees average around only $2 per month, making this a particularly affordable option if you’re looking for homework help on a budget. Brainly subscriptions not only cover unlimited answers and explanations on a wide variety of school subjects (including Art and World Languages which aren’t always included in other apps), they also provide tutoring in Math and Physics!

Best App for Math Homework Help: Photomath

• Price: Free (or up to $59.99 per year for premium services) 
• Best for: Explaining solutions to math problems

This app allows you to take a picture of a math problem, and instantly pulls up a step-by-step solution, as well as a detailed explanation of the concept. Photomath subscription services also include animated videos that break down mathematical concepts–all the way up to advanced Calculus!--to help you better understand and remember them. 

The basic textbook solution service is free, but for an additional fee you can get extra study tools, access to one-on-one tutoring, and additional strategies for solving common math problems.

Best App for STEM and English Homework Help: Studypool

• Price: Varies; you’ll pay for each question you submit
• Best for: Science and English homework help in one app

When it comes to apps for science and English homework help, there aren’t lots of great resources out there, much less out there all in one place. While Grammarly is a good service for proofreading, SparkNotes has some decent summaries, and Khan Academy covers science, the best of the bunch if you need help with both subjects Studypool. Instead of using lots of different apps for STEM and English help, they’re combined together here! But while Studypool has great reviews, there are some downsides as well. 

The Studypool Q&A model is a little different than other homework help apps. After you create a free account, you ask questions, and tutors submit bids to answer them. You’ll be able to select the tutor–and price point–that works for you, then you’ll pay to have your homework question answered. You can also pay a small fee to access thousands of notes, lectures, and other documents that top tutors have uploaded.  

The downside to Studypool is that the pricing is not transparent . There’s no way to plan for how much your homework help will cost, especially if you have lots of questions! It’s also not clear how they choose their tutors, so you’ll need to be careful when you decide who you’d like to answer your homework questions. That said, if you only need a few questions answered per month, this could be cheaper than other monthly subscription services.

Best Homework Scheduling App: MyStudyLife

• Best for: Keeping track of your schedule and deadlines

If the reason you’re looking for homework help is less about finding answers to questions and more about needing assistance with organization and time-management , MyStudyLife is a great option. This is a cross-platform planner that allows you to store your class schedule, upcoming tests, and homework assignments in the cloud so you can access it all wherever you are, and on any device. 

One of the unique things about it is that it easily works for daily or weekly rotating class schedules that can get confusing, helping you keep track of when you need to finish your homework based on your changing schedule. You can get reminders for upcoming classes and assignments as well as past-due homework and any revisions you may need to do. It can even let you know when you need to start studying for a big test!

Best of all, you can actually schedule assignments and study sessions for multiple nights, and specify how much of the task you got done each night. That way you’ll know how much additional time you’ll need to spend! 

While homework apps might seem like magic, it's important to weigh the pros and cons before you commit to one. 

What Are the Pros and Cons of Using Homework Help Apps?

Homework help apps can be useful tools if you’re struggling in any of your classes. But there are a few problems you might run into if you don’t use them ethically and responsibly. 

Below we’ll cover some of the good and the not-so-good parts of using homework help apps to complete your take-home assignments.

3 Pros of Using Homework Help Apps

Let’s start with the pros of using apps for homework help.

Pro 1: All-Around Better Grades

This is undeniably the main pro and the reason apps that help you with homework are so popular with students. Not only can you potentially get better grades on individual assignments, because they help you learn tricky concepts, you can also earn better grades overall .

Just keep in mind that if you want better grades you have to actually learn the material you’re studying, not just find easy answers. So be sure to use apps that provide good explanations . That way you’ll have the mental tools you need to succeed on your class exams and on standardized tests for college. 

Pro 2: Flexibility

It’s hard to beat homework help that you can access anywhere you are from your mobile device. You can also get assistance whenever you need it since the best apps offer their services 24/7. This is especially useful for students who need to study during hours when their free school resources aren’t available because of extracurriculars, jobs, or family obligations. 

If you need convenient and flexible homework help or tutoring services to fit your schedule, apps can be your go-to resource. 

Pro 3: Individualized Learning

Sometimes the kind of learner you are doesn’t match your teacher’s style of teaching. Or maybe the pace of a class is a little too fast or too slow for your tastes. Homework apps can help by allowing you to learn at your own speed and in ways that support your own learning style. 

You can use their features, such as educational videos, 24/7 conversations with experts and peers, and tutorials to review concepts you may have forgotten. These apps can also let you dive deeper into topics or subjects you enjoy! With homework help apps, you get to choose what you need to learn and how you learn it.

3 Cons of Using Homework Help Apps

Next, let’s look at the cons of homework help apps. 

Con 1: Questionable Info 

Unfortunately there are lots of less-than-reliable homework help apps out there. They might not hire actual experts in their fields to provide answers and create study tools, or they rely on user-submitted answers that they don’t verify. In those cases, you might not be getting the accurate, thorough, and up-to-date answers you need to really learn.

In addition to the possibility of running into plain-old wrong answers, even the best apps sometimes just won’t have a specific answer you need. This could be because you’re enrolled in an advanced class the app doesn’t really cover or because of the algorithm or chatbot a particular app uses. 

If that’s the case , your best bet will likely be to talk to your teacher or a free tutor (if your school provides them) to get help answering your question.

Con 2: Information Overload

While having tons of information at your fingertips can be helpful, the sheer amount and variety of videos, tutorials, expert answers, and resources a homework app provides can be overwhelming . It’s also easy to get sucked into a research rabbit-hole where you learn new things but don’t actually get your work done. This is especially true for students who tend to be easily distracted.

Additionally, you may be learning to do things differently than you’ve learned them in class , which could cause problems. For example, if your math teacher asks you to solve a problem one way, but you learned to do it differently through an app, you could get confused come test time! 

Con 3: Cutting Corners

There are a lot of apps out there that bill themselves as “the best app for cheating.” They allow users to type in a question or take a picture, then instantly provide an answer without any explanation of the material. Many of these are scams or provide unreliable answers, but not all. Some apps are legitimate and provide quick and easy answers that could allow you to do your whole homework assignment in minutes. 

The problem is that even though taking shortcuts on homework to save time is tempting, it can keep you from really learning. The point of practicing concepts and skills is so you develop them and can access them whenever you need to. This is especially true if skills build on one another, like in a math or English class. 

Sometimes s truggling with an assignment or question, trying, failing, then trying again until you succeed can help you learn difficult material. If you don’t let yourself really try, and instead take too many shortcuts, you may end up behind.

When Does “Help” Become “Cheating”?

When it comes to using homework help apps, sometimes the difference between “help” and “cheating” is really clear. For example, if you’re using an app to get answers while you’re taking a test, that’s definitely cheating . But what if you’re struggling with a math problem and need to know the correct answer so you can work backwards to learn the process? Is that “cheating” or is it “help?” 

The truth is, not everyone agrees on when “help” crosses the line into “cheating .” If you’re not sure, you can always check with your teacher to see what they think about a particular type of help you want to get. That said, a general rule of thumb to keep in mind is to make sure that the assignment you turn in for credit is authentically yours . It needs to demonstrate your own thoughts and your own current abilities. Remember: the point of every homework assignment is to 1) help you learn something, and 2) show what you’ve learned. 

So if you’re relying on an app to do all of the work for you, there’s a good chance using it might constitute cheating. 

Think of it this way: say you’re studying for an upcoming math test, and are stumped by a few of the questions on the study guide. Even though you’ve tried and tried, you can’t seem to get the right answer because you can’t remember the steps to take. Using an app to explain the steps as you’re studying is “help.” Using the app to get answers so you can make a good homework grade is “cheating.” 

The same is true for other subjects: brainstorming essay ideas with others or looking online for inspiration is “help” as long as you write the essay yourself. Having someone read it and give you feedback about what you need to change is also “help,” provided you’re the one that makes the changes later. 

But copying all or part of an essay you find online or having someone write (or rewrite) the whole thing for you would be “cheating.” Ultimately, if you’re not generating your own work or learning to produce your own answers, it’s probably cheating. 

5 Tips for Finding the Best Homework Help App for You

If you’re serious about using a homework help app, our expert tips can help you pick one that’s right for you and your budget!

#1: Decide What Tools You Need to Succeed 

While most apps offer Q&A services, the best apps provide study tools to help you learn the material you need to learn . 

For instance, if you’re a visual learner, you might need an app that provides lots of videos. If you learn best by reading, an app that provides lots of in-depth written resources might be better for you. Or, if you learn best by actually doing things, look for an app that provides practice tests and quizzes, along with explanations for correct and incorrect answers.

Before committing to an app, take a quick survey of the tools they offer users to make sure they meet your unique learning needs. 

#2: Decide Which Subjects You Need to Study

Not all homework apps are created equal. One might provide tutoring in math and science, but no proofreading services to help you with writing. Another might be perfect for American History, but what you really need help with is your Spanish class. So, before you can decide which app is best for you, make sure to create a list of the subjects you need the most help in.

#3: Do Your Research

As we’ve said before, there are tons of homework apps in the app store to choose from, and the most important thing you can do is research what they offer students. Services, prices for those services, and subjects that the apps cover all vary, so it’s important that you look into your options. We’ve compiled our all-around favorite (and reliable) apps here, but it’s still a good idea to do your own research to find out what might meet your individual needs best.

#4: Learn Why People Like and Dislike the App

Maybe you’ve heard the phrase “buyer beware?” It means that the person buying something should check for quality before actually handing over their money. This applies to both free and paid homework apps, but especially those that actually cost money.

Before you download anything, be sure to read the user reviews . While all apps will have both positive and negative reviews, you want to look for one that has more positive than negative. And if you’re considering paying for a service, be sure that users think it’s worth the price overall!

#5: Budget Yourself

If you find a paid app that provides the learning tools you need, covers the subjects you need to study, and that has good reviews overall, set a budget to pay for it before you hit that “install” button. The costs for paid homework apps vary, and especially if you’re using one that requires you to pay for individual questions or services, the prices can add up quickly. So make sure there’s money for it in your budget before you commit!

Should you post basic computer science homework to your github?

I am currently taking computer science coursework as part of a computer science related degree at my University. I was wondering if I should upload the solutions I make for various trivial homework assignments (ie. not more than 20-30 or so lines of code, on basic/fundamental topics) to my GitHub account, or if I should only upload larger course/personal projects to it. I have only been regularly coding for about a year, and a large portion of the code I have written was for a company where I was under an NDA, so I was wondering if this would be an appropriate way to add more breadth to future job applications.

• $\begingroup$ Yes, but full-time coursework and employment gets in the way of making significant amounts of progress on outside projects. I figured since I'm coding anyway I might as well add it on to my portfolio, so that way employers could tell I'm not just sitting around not coding anything at all. $\endgroup$ –  nyomu Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 18:59

No, solutions to homework assignments are not likely to impress potential future employers.

Many professors would prefer that you not post solutions to homework assignments to public Github repositories. Why? If they ever reuse those problems in a future semester, then by making the solutions publicly available you are creating a temptation to cheat for other students, and that can be detrimental. So it would be a kindness to avoid publicly posting solutions.

If you are a student, you can get free unlimited private repositories on Github that you could use for homework assignments. Just make sure not to let them revert to public when you graduate.

• 8 $\begingroup$ Minor nitpick but free unlimited private repos are to everyone now on github, though students should still take advantage of the developer pack $\endgroup$ –  questionerofdy Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 6:07
• $\begingroup$ That really depends on what the assignment is. Sure, implementing some sorting algorithm is probably not going to impress employers, but if you happen to get an assignment like implementing an actual application over the course of a semester, I don't see why not. I'm not sure if this is common where you're from (I assume not, given the tone of this answer), but I had a few projects like this during my degree. $\endgroup$ –  Noctiphobia Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 16:32
• 4 $\begingroup$ The fact that many professors would prefer that one not publicly posts solutions to homework assignments it's something that, in my opinion, should be better fought rather than supported, and should not deter students from possibly showing-off their skills (a similar opinion of mine on a related matter). $\endgroup$ –  Massimo Ortolano Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 18:05
• $\begingroup$ @questionerofdy Other Git hosting services (e.g. codeberg.org , sr.ht ) do more, work better and are less likely to cause problems for you in the future. (sr.ht is not free, though, except in its alpha.) $\endgroup$ –  wizzwizz4 Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 18:48
• 2 $\begingroup$ @Noctiphobia The OP specified not more than 20-30 lines of code on basic/fundamental topics. $\endgroup$ –  user3067860 Commented Dec 29, 2020 at 19:42

I'd recommend that you talk with your professors. No one here can speak for your professor (unless your professors is here).

From my experience, I'd bet that most professors would love your enthusiasm but be very reluctant to allow it because of the issues with plagiarism and academic integrity. If you discuss it with the professor you may find that they are open to extra credit projects or something to give you some opportunity to add to your repositories. Go into the discussion fully expecting it to be a long shot.

I've had quite a few syllabi state that storing class work in a public repository would be considered a breach in our academic integrity policies, but at the same time I've also been given permission from other professors to use GitHub public repositories on a number of projects. It usually came down to if the mission of the project is unique to the student/team. When every team is creating a one of a kind project, it usually becomes less of a problem to create a public repository. The best luck I've had getting public GitHub repository approval was with professors that offed independent study extra credit opportunities and when we had group projects.

In any case, never assume that you can upload any coursework to a public repository! Discuss it with your professors.

• 2 $\begingroup$ "never assume that you can upload any coursework to a public repository" : let me add that this advice is probably culture-dependent. In the German academic culture I experienced, the default was that you can share anything. In fact, our student council publicly collects old written/oral exam questions. And professors know this; some even recommend you to take a look at them. Rarely do they kindly ask you to not publish things, knowing they couldn't/wouldn't want to go down to legal path of forcing you anyway. $\endgroup$ –  ComFreek Commented Dec 30, 2020 at 12:09
• $\begingroup$ @ComFreek that’s a good point. I believe the pros of taking this advice outweigh the cons in general because asking will likely do little harm regardless while, depending on the situation, making an assumption can lead to complications. $\endgroup$ –  Joshua096 Commented Jan 2, 2021 at 12:46

For advanced homework solutions, I'd indeed consider polishing and uploading or writing a blog post about it.

The natural way to create advanced solutions is to solve advanced exercises that are stated openly, without a clear path/coding framework in mind — typically in M.Sc.-level courses. Alternatively, you can try to go above and beyond when solving simple exercises.

For instance, we were once asked to model a toy ontology language in a programming language of our choice, and I modelled it in Coq , the proof assistant. I do think there is some value in me having published that solution on GitHub; if only for the reason that it raises my incentive to improve it when I can spare time.

Whether professors generally mind students publishing their solutions, is apparently highly culture-dependent. The other answers by D.W. and Joshua096 report on the default in their experience being yes , i.e., you should always ask professors before hand.

In contrast, in the German academic culture I experienced, the default was that you can share anything. In fact, our student council publicly collects old written/oral exam questions. And professors know this; some even recommend you to take a look at them. Rarely do they kindly ask you to not publish things, knowing they couldn't/wouldn't want to go down to legal path of forcing you anyway.

• How do you determine the range of values that a ProgressBar can show?
• How do you change how much of the progress bar is filled in?

If an AsyncTask is defined as follows:

• What is the type of the value that is passed to doInBackground() in the AsyncTask?
• What is the type of the value that is passed to the callback that reports the progress of the task?
• What is the type of the value that is passed to the callback that is executed when the task completes?

To report progress of the work executed by an AsyncTask, what callback method do you implement , and what method do you call in your AsyncTask subclass?

• Implement publishProgress() . Call publishProgress() .
• Implement publishProgress() . Call onProgressUpdate() .
• Implement onProgressUpdate() . Call publishProgress() .
• Implement onProgressUpdate() . Call onProgressUpdate() .

Submit your app for grading

Guidance for graders.

Check that the app has the following features:

• The layout includes a ProgressBar that sets the appropriate attributes to determine the range of values.
• The AsyncTask breaks the total sleep time into chunks and updates the progress bar after each chunk.
• The AsyncTask calls the appropriate method and implements the appropriate callback to update the progress bar.
• The AsyncTask needs to know which views to update. Depending on whether the AsyncTask is implemented as an inner class or not, the views can either be passed to the constructor of the AsyncTask or defined as member variables on the Activity.

Create an app that retrieves and displays the contents of a web page at a URL. The app displays:

• A field where the user enters a URL
• A field such as a menu or spinner that allows the user to choose the protocol (HTTP or HTTPS)
• A button that executes the task when clicked
• A scrolling display of the source code of the web page at the URL

Use an AsyncTaskLoader to retrieve the source code of the web page at the URL. You need to implement a subclass of AsyncTaskLoader.

If connection to the Internet is not available when the user clicks the button, the app must show the user an appropriate response. For example, it might display a message such as "Check your Internet connection and try again."

The display must contain a TextView in a ScrollView that displays the source code, but the exact appearance of the interface is up to you. Your screen can look different from the screenshots below. You can use a pop-up menu, spinner, or checkboxes to allow the user to select HTTP or HTTPS.

What permissions does your app need to connect to the Internet?

• android.permission.CONNECTIVITY
• android.permission.INTERNET
• It doesn't need any special permissions; all apps are allowed to connect to the Internet.

How does your app check that Internet connectivity is available?

In the manifest:

• request ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permission
• request ALL_NETWORK_STATE permission
• request NETWORK_CONNECT permission

In the code:

• Wrap the code to connect to the Internet in a try/catch block, and catch NO_NETWORK errors.
• Use ConnectivityManager to check for an active network before connecting to the network.
• Present a dialog to the user reminding them to make sure that Internet connectivity is available before attempting to connect to the Internet.

Where do you implement the loader callback method that's triggered when the loader finishes executing its task?

• In the AsyncTaskLoader subclass. The AsyncTaskLoader must implement LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks.
• In the Activity that displays the results of the task. The Activity must implement LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks.
• In a Utility class that extends Object and implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks.

When the user rotates the device, how do AsyncTask and AsyncTaskLoader behave differently if they are in the process of running a task in the background?

• A running AsyncTask becomes disconnected from the Activity even though it keeps executing.
• A running AsyncTaskLoader becomes disconnected from the Activity but stops running, preserving system resources.
• A running AsyncTask becomes disconnected from the Activity but stops running, preserving system resources.
• A running AsyncTaskLoader automatically restarts execution of its task from the beginning. The Activity displays the results.
• A running AsyncTaskLoader automatically reconnects to the Activity after the device rotation. The Activity displays the results.

How do you initialize an AsyncTaskLoader to perform the steps, such as initializing variables, that must be done before the loader starts performing its background task?

• In onCreateLoader() in the Activity, create an instance of the AsyncTaskLoader subclass. In the loader's constructor perform initialization tasks.
• In onCreateLoader() in the Activity, create an instance of the AsyncTaskLoader subclass. In the loader's init() method, perform initialization tasks.
• In the Activity, implement initLoader() to initialize the loader.
• Perform initialization tasks for the loader at the start of loadInBackgroud() in the Loader.

What methods must an AsyncTaskLoader implement?

• The manifest includes requests for the appropriate permissions.
• Uses a subclass of AsyncTaskLoader.
• Responds appropriately if the device can't connect to the Internet.
• Combines the protocol and the web page to create a valid URL that the app uses to connect to the Internet.
• Implements the required Loader callback methods.
• Displays the results of retrieving the source of the web page in TextView in a ScrollView. (It's OK to do it in the same Activity, or to start a new Activity.)
• Create an app called BroadcastCounter using the Empty Activity template.
• Use a BroadcastReceiver to count how many times the ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED broadcast was received. Hint: Define your BroadcastReceiver as an inner class and register it dynamically.
• Display the count in a TextView view.

What are the differences between registering a broadcast receiver statically or dynamically?

• Registering a broadcast receiver dynamically ties its operation to the lifecycle of your activity.
• If you register your receiver to receive only local broadcasts, you must register it dynamically; static registration isn't an option.
• Registering a broadcast receiver statically creates a new process to run your broadcast receiver if no processes associated with your application are running.
• All of the above.

True or false? If a broadcast receiver is registered statically, it responds to broadcast events even if your app is not running.

Which class is used to mitigate the security risks of BroadcastReceivers when the broadcasts are not cross-application (that is, they are sent and received by the same app)?

• SecureBroadcast
• LocalBroadcastManager
• OrderedBroadcast
• SecureBroadcastManager
• The broadcast receiver registers and unregisters dynamically in one of the following lifecycle method pairs: OnResume/OnPause, OnCreate/OnDestroy, or OnStart/OnStop.
• The counter is displayed and is incremented when the phone is plugged in.

Suppose you create an application that downloads a work of art every day. Once the artwork is available, the app shows a notification to the user, and the user can either download or skip the day's work of art. What PendingIntent method would you use to start a service to download the image?

• Activity.startService()
• PendingIntent.getBroadcast()
• PendingIntent.getActivity()
• PendingIntent.getService()
• When the user taps the update button, the notification becomes an InboxStyle notification with several rows of text representing line items.
• The screen has a summary and title text line, which changes its position depending on the API level. (See Notifications in the material design guidelines.)
• Uses the NotificationCompat.InboxStyle class so that it's backwards compatible.

In which API level did inexact timing become the default for AlarmManager? (All set() methods use inexact timing, unless explicitly stated.)

• API level 16
• API level 18
• API level 19
• API level 17
• The alarm uses exact timing. This means that the code includes a statement checking that the devices API level is > 19, and using the setExact() method if it is.
• App shows a notification when the time is 11:11 AM.

Create an app that simulates a large download scheduled with battery and data consumption in mind. It contains a button that says "Download Now" and has the following features:

• It delivers a notification in place of performing an actual download.
• The "download" is performed once a day, when the phone is idle but connected to power and to WiFi, or when the button is pressed.
• When the user taps the Download Now button, it triggers a "downloading" notification. Hint : Define the JobService class as an inner class. That way, the Download Now button and the JobService can call the same method to deliver the notification.

What class do you use if you want features like the ones provided by JobScheduler, but you want the features to work for devices running API level 20 and below?

• JobSchedulerCompat
• FirebaseJobDispatcher
• AlarmManager
• The JobInfo object has 4 criteria set: setRequiresCharging() , setPeriodic() , setRequiresDeviceIdle() , setRequiredNetworkType()
• The app crashes if the JobService class does not have an empty constructor.
