My husband is in college and one of his homework assignments is to take some word problem and make it into a program or psudocode. It's some type of Algorythum and I have no idea how to do it. If anyone know how to do it please let me know. We have asked the teacher multiple times about it and telling him he doesn't understand it but the teacher is of no help. We have also looked it up on Youtube and that didn't help either. (my husband does University of Phoenix online.) Please if anyone can help please message me. :) And for all of those who keep asking me if I am doing my husbands homework, I am not. I have no idea how to do this stuff. He is not a fan of this site so I am asking to help him out. I have enough to do with keeping up my house and taking care of my kids. I am just trying to be a good and helpful wife and ask questions.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Anyway no one worry about this question anymore anyway. My husband is dropping the class and going to finish his general studies first. Then he will go back to this class, but by then he should know how to do this kind of problem because he is going to study it and figure it out. Thanks for all of your answers.

It is free online tutorial.
GREAT site for all ages.
Even Bill Gates is a fan of this site.
See if the site has any topics to do with this. I assume they do.

How come you are doing your Husband's homework?

Aside from having someone do it for you/or your Husband, is your Husband understanding basic.... coding/programming/algorithms etc?
Because, there are tons more of this stuff as a Computer major.
He needs to perhaps, get a tutor?
If he does not get this stuff, then it will only get worse/harder as his schooling continues and he reaches more advanced classes.

Isn't there an actual brick and mortar campus site for U of P in town?
They do have onsite locations. They have one in our city. An actual building and campus.

Just google readable languages. I can write code which is what I assume he is talking about but even I don't understand what you are trying to do.

Oh and it is algorithm. An algorithm is a logic statement, in a lot of ways it is like a formula but with words.

My husband is a computer programmer, and he has no idea what you're asking for because you don't state the problem clearly. He suggest a tutor is in order.

On a side note, I don't suggest trying to do homework with your hubby, but if you understand some of it, more power to you. When we were in college, there was no way I could begin to understand my husband's assignments.

I suggest your husband get a tutor. There also may be a TA that he can contact. There may a message board where he can message other students in the class. Most of the time in "blackboard" or whatever online grading/portal system University of Phoenix uses there will be a "roster" that includes emails for all the students in the class. He should try to organize a study group.

Be VERY careful about googling answers to homework problems. This can be grounds for expulsion if he doesn't credit his source.

How far along is he in his academic program? He may want to think about if it's the right program for him if he is struggling.

Many teachers WANT their students to succeed, so it's odd to me that the teacher is not being helpful.

Also you should not be helping him. If he can't figure out the problems, HE needs to figure this out so that he can build on that material as the class gets older.
