That is my technique too. I get to answer a lot of questions about IR optics and detector physics on my web site. If it appears I am doing someone's term project, I start outlining how to get the answers to the problem rather than giving the answers. I must confess, though, that I have a hard time keeping my mouth (keyboard) shut if I know the answer. There have always been cheaters, but the American culture has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. "Claiming the work of others as your own" has become completely accepted.
