Well buddy, you have been far too soft on her. Trust me when i was at college i was like you i helped out many people with their coursework even i send my coursework to people online for them to use as ideas. But, luckily i give them a warning not to copy anything. Also, they dont really copy my words therefore, i was lucky in that case. Nowadays, since joining university everyone has dispered into their own separate ways and none of them dont really come to me unless they are needed. Well, myself what i do is to do my assignment and get my close friend whom i treat as me brother. To check it and give me feedback before, doing me final assignment.
Well, in your case you were far too soft hearted like i repeated. What should of you of have done is to make her work independently on the first place not help her out too much. Normally, i tend to explain them the things they must add in the coursework and sometimes they used to look at my assignment. Myself was extremely careful that they dont pinch it and hop like a rabbit. That's what of you should of done is to explain not help her to extreme.
If she comes back to you again for help with coursework or assignment what you call it. You explain to her and tell her you aint doing the work for her. If she questions why tell her, you need to learn doing the assignment yourself since, you wont succeed or learn from other people doing it. Well, you doing it yourself will enable you to understand the topic as well learning your mistakes. Try to be a bit stronger.
Hope this advise really helps.
Yes, I always start with explanations, but she always informs me that she still has no idea what to do. In fact I keep track of her assignments and inform her a week or two prior to her assignments that she has an assignment due, and she better get started on it. She responds back saying "I know" Then, a week later she will come banging on my door saying she needs help with it.
