So I told him, and then he understood the problem, and was all thankful and grateful. So, he had taken the time to study the problem set, and had taken the time to come to my office to ask about something he didn't understand, but had not taken the time to look up a simple definition that's easy to find in the textbook or in the class notes that are posted online. And he's one of the better students.
They are just not adults.
