Course HeroReviews 357

As a recent graduate, it's shocking how much actual material is being submitted by student to Universities and directly bought from this company. I've had to report dozens of students and unfortunately disqualify them from great opportunities. The company states and "trys" to enforce their users to avoid these actions, but it's completely ridiculous to set these rules but then have material from every University across the state. They don't follow their own policies but expect their users to do it, completely shameful and embarrassing.

Signed up for this site to study for my midterms. Didn't know what to expect since there are so many mixed review, but after getting A's on all my exams I am sold. I will be recommending to all my friends. There are a ton of useful documents on there. Only downside is it is a bit expensive to pay upfront.

One of my classmates told me about this site last week. I never even knew that such sites existed. I used it to practice for my mid term and passed my calc exam with a 92!

Total scam at worst, extremely misleading at best. You'll be going along and then very quickly you will find that you need to purchase more document unlocks for more $$$. Information about your rather limited initial unlocks is intentionally well-hidden. I suppose the site could be considered helpful if you happen to have unlimited funds to pay for all of the additional unlocks you will certainly need. But I'd bet most students are not in this category.

Course Hero really helped me succeed with finishing my Master's degree. They had really helpful study guides and I frequently used the ask a question feature since most of my classes were online and my professors weren't always available in the evening. I was working full time and had a baby so the extra help course hero gave me to complete my assignments more timely was vital to my success!

You have to pay for a subscription, and then you find out you have access to 30 documents per a month. You have to "unlock" each document if you want to see more than the top 1/4th of the page, and you get 30 unlocks a month. Most of the documents have nothing to do with the class/topic they're listed under, and some of the documents are jokes people posted on the website. When I cancelled the "cancel anytime" subscription, I was informed I owed the full amount of the contract. I had to call customer service to get out of the contract immediately. I spent all of 30 minutes on the site.

It's just not worth the money. Answers are usually copy and pasted off existing solution manuals. Unlocks are very stingy and limited. When uploading to gain unlocks, the time it takes to actually earn those unlocks is usually too long and I've already run out of time to complete the assignment. Chegg is slightly better at giving step-by-step solutions, but a lot of the time you just can't trust the answers. Nothing compares to asking for teacher for free help, studying harder and more consistently and not leaving things to the last minute.

The website was good 3 years back. Now that I resumed my studies, I can see the drastic change in the quality of tutors. They aren't helpful anymore. Even customer care isn't as friendly as before. They refused to refund my fee even though I didn't get any help for all my questions. Complete Scam I must say.
Just to help other students out there getting scammed, I would suggest going for EduYoda.com. It's similar to coursehero, but with better response and tutor quality. Just had 2 projects done by them and they were amazing.

The Document I was looking to unlock was already for free on a government website, they said they would only charge $9.95 per month, no where they did they state that it would be in USD only, and they charged for a year upfront, no where did they at all state that this would be the case. I ended up being charged $173.51 AUD and not recieveing anything useful. I kept asking tutors for advice on simple questions, but got no help from them. They have also refused to give a refund.
