Homework Help: Ask Questions and Get Answers Online

Saturday July 8, 2006
Online classes are convenient, but they don’t always offer the support of a regular university. When you find yourself wishing you had a tutor to guide you through a difficult math problem or help you with an essay question, don’t distress. A growing number of Q&A websites offer you the ability to ask questions and get answers online.

First, I want to say that the sites you listed are all great resources. However, you’d basically be relying on the kindness of other people to help you out. Sometimes you’ll get answers in a timely manner. Often, you won’t.

When you really need in-depth help, try a virtual tutoring service where you can hook up with an expert in any subject for an online tutoring session. You’ll have to pay, of course, but the help you get is usually much better than on the free boards.

I’m not here to promote a particular service, so I’m not going to name any. I just want you to know that they’re available!

Can also try http://www.After.com which is very helpful in homework answers. its features that I liked is its style of answering your queries. As you type in any question on a topic on the search box, AAfter provides links to wiki, yahoo,chacha, eHow, YouTube and a host of many other sites that provide answers to your questions in text, videos or audios. So, by simply writing your question at a single site, you get links to all the important sites available to get your answers. Undoubtedly, a great help indeed.
