To imply people who use Course Hero as cheaters is ridiculous and very demeaning. Try seeing sites like Course Hero to be a useful tool in supplementing student's notes and compile one's own to create comprehensive study guides. Cheating has and will always be around, but not among all students and many who have the opportunity to use Course Hero, can become more effective in how they study. Those who do cheat will be caught and it will show during midterms and exams. The problem is that these students will have no deep understanding to those subjects and will ultimately fail to arrive at solutions.

I believe Course Hero and the like, effectively and efficiently help students study. But I know sometimes note taking might not be as thorough, which means uncovering the vast amount of material on Course Hero can help fill in those gaps. So naturally having more material creates room to be more concentrated and productive on certain subjects. Think of it as another study group and study session. I think sites like these are the future for students and have changed the way students can become deeper and well rounded to succeed in their courses.
