<p>Because I want someone to compare answers with?</p>
<p>It seems like so many of them are reluctant to send replies.</p>
<p>Would asking for their phone number work better? But would that even be MORE “creepy/awkward”?</p>
<p>Maybe it’s more of them not wanting to compare answers with.</p>
<p>Personally, the only people I’d share answers with are those I’ve worked with on the problem set.</p>
<p>PFFT asking? I can just plug their name in and find out their email.</p>
<p>Everyone asks for my email, so i give it out to alot of people i probably shuldnt, but its only mail. I never would give out my cell to anyone i didnt know well. And my mom get really mad when my friend call me all the time and she has bring me the phone. I just did a history report and they didnt have phones before 1900, so you would have had to write a letter and have someone on a horse ride it to the person, so if you wanted to have someone over you would have to plan like a month ahead of time if you wanted to have your friend over or something. Wouldnt that be boring and slow?</p>
<p>Why don’t you try talking to them first? Get to know them a bit. Then you’re not a total stranger asking for their email or phone number. It’s not weird, but if people feel uncomfortable with it, then try to become friendly with them first.</p>
<p>I feel like someone is being friendly if they ask for my e-mail/phone number. It’s not like tons of people ask, but when they do, I give it to them. What’s the worst that could happen? If they become annoying or harassing, I can always just ignore them or block them.</p>
<p>However, some people might feel uncomfortable sharing their answers with someone they don’t know so well, especially if you want to compare the whole assignment and not just a few problems you were unsure about. If you want to compare entire assignments, I would try asking someone to meet in person to go over them together. I would just say something like, “Hey, what’s your number? I’ll text you and we can meet at blah blah blah place and check our answers.” This probably works best if you can find someone else who is struggling a little or seems nervous about the class; that way if you suggest working together, it’s more of a collaborative thing as opposed to someone feeling like they’re just giving you all their answers.</p>
<p>Here’s a suggestion: If you do badly on a test or homework assignment (or just think you did badly), just comment about it to someone who’s sitting next to you. If it seems like they feel like they did badly too, then try asking for their number or e-mail and suggest working/studying together, so there’s something in it for both of you. Just a suggestion.</p>
<p>No one uses e-mail anymore. Instead, they use Facebook. You should use Facebook.</p>
<p>^^oh okay that’s a very good idea</p>
<p>^yeah that’s quite true. but so many people now have privacy restriction settings (so you can’t even find them in search). It used to be super-convenient (way back when facebook had a courses part of the profile) but it’s gone now [sigh].</p>
<p>Just find out their name. From a name, you can get their Facebook, school email, etc. It’s generally not weird to ask someone what their first and last name is if you’re in class with them and have had casual contact with them.</p>
<p>Wait, facebook got rid of the courses section of profiles? Man, that was the only thing I used it for back when it first came to my school.</p>
<p>What’s the courses section of Facebook, lol? I have experience with Facebook and don’t even know what it is. If it’s something that lists who else is in the same course as you, then darn they should have kept it.</p>
