- Course Hero is committed to the open access of educational resources. By facilitating the exchange of educational resources, Course Hero aims to accelerate the acquisition of knowledge and deepen understanding. Course Hero believes that students and teachers can provide materials and perspectives online that complement and enrich their classroom dialogue and enhance understanding.
Students teach each other and explain concepts to their peers in a comprehensible manner. Course Hero provides an open environment for students to teach and learn from each other.
Teachers are conventionally limited to teaching the students enrolled in their courses. Course Hero provides the opportunity for teachers to expand their student constituency, share their methods of instruction and spread their knowledge well beyond the classroom.
Most undergraduate and graduate students currently do not publish their work, even though many of them have created valuable educational resources. Mostly students are not encouraged to share their educational resources and do not have an outlet through which to share them. Course Hero provides such an outlet.
Course Hero also provides a resource from which students can find multiple perspectives and approaches to the same academic subject.
Course Hero does not sponsor the use of shared educational course materials for unethical purposes, such as plagiarism or other forms of cheating. The educational course materials found on CourseHero.com should be used to gain understanding and used within the limits of each student’s respective university code of academic integrity. - Products:
