Ethics 101: 5 Online Pitfalls That Destroy Students (Switched)

Jan 20th 2010 6:21PM 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.

Web Sites That Help Students Cheat Are Flourishing (Switched)

Jan 19th 2010 7:02PM I’ve been using Course Hero and its been a useful tool in supplementing me in my notes and study guides. This site has effectively and efficiently helped students study. A huge benefit to using social learning sites like Course Hero, is the size and volume of the material that is available. Having a saturation of quality notes and past exams, can help users fill in those study gaps. In turn, studying has become more concentrated and effective on class material. 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.

Education is a source of empowering knowledge and Course Hero has become another outlet for more of that knowledge. I think ultimately it will help students perform and meet all areas of academia.

Try seeing sites like Course Hero to be a supplement to student's notes and compile others notes to create comprehensive study guides. I agree and feel cheating is prevalant but not among all students. 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.
