Course Hero

[MNomadic]

They're just trying to change their tactics so it looks more legit to what they're doing...  I mean, I would never recommend them to anyone.  They've legally purchased Cliffnotes, most of their material is great for review/retaining info, but it may not be the same topics for each class.  Basically, stay away from Course Hero.  Cliffnotes is a good option for review/preview of information.

Course hero makes money from getting students to copy/paste and share their course grading and answers for each course at different schools - how is that helping people learn is beyond me, I just don't know how "learning" is involved with them... they don't "show" the process of getting the answers to a calculation, they just show answers... how do people learn concepts?

To be fair, I've looked at course hero a few times for an online class with an unresponsive professor/classmates. I've never blindly copied anyone's answers but sometimes it helps to see an example of what someone else has submitted in the past. For math problems I've struggled with, sometimes if I can at least see what the correct answer is, I can reverse engineer the process to get there. But I agree, 99% of course hero is basically academic dishonesty.
