Course Hero is an online learning platform where you can access more than 20 million course-specific study resources contributed by students and educators. Our vision is to help every student graduate confident and prepared, and we believe that can happen if every student has access to the right resources. We offer study documents and study guides for nearly every college course and academic subject imaginable, and we have tutors who are equipped to help when things get tough. Additionally, Course Hero is a great resource for educators looking for inspiration or advice. Here are 10 reasons to start using Course Hero as part of your educational journey.

1. You missed a class.

You were too sick to make it to class, and now you feel behind. Course Hero study documents include notes contributed by a community of students, tagged to specific classes, so they’re a great resource for catching up on everything you missed.

2. You misunderstood something important in class.

You made it to class, but the professor said something that went over your head or didn’t make sense to you. Course-specific study documents and study guides help clarify the complex themes and concepts being covered in class.

3. You’re confused by a core concept.

Say there’s some concept in biology or economics you just can’t master, or that you really don’t understand what’s happening in Jane Eyre. Course Hero study guides help fill in the blanks by providing invaluable context and insight into the texts and concepts you’re studying.

4. You need to study for an exam.

The big test is coming up, and you need a better way to study. Find practice tests on Course Hero. Practice tests are a great way to learn, retain, and truly understand information, so when the test comes, you’ll be confident and prepared.

5. You’re totally stuck on your homework.

When the problem seems unsolvable, Course Hero tutors are available 24/7 to answer your questions. And — don’t forget! — you can ask questions for free by uploading study documents to Course Hero.

6. You want to check your work.

The same way you’d use the answer key in the back of your textbook to check your answers, you can use Course Hero study guides to make sure you and your assignments are on the right track.

7. You need help starting that essay.

Sometimes the best way to get past writer’s block — and Impostor Syndrome — is to see how other students approached the problem. Search Course Hero’s study documents to get a better sense of what your professor is looking for — or for general inspiration.

8. You’re picking a major or choosing classes.

Make an informed decision about your future. Study documents and syllabi uploaded to Course Hero are great resources for getting a comprehensive overview of what you’ll study in individual courses and major tracks at universities throughout the country.

9. You need general advice or inspiration.

Course Hero’s College Life and Student Voices are home to posts and expert interviews that provide you with practical studying tips, advice on achieving a good school-life balance, and much more.

10. You’re a professor who needs help with planning or inspiration.

Course Hero is a great resource for professors looking to get innovative ideas from other educators across the country. Check out Faculty Club, where you can find lesson plan ideas, tips for engaging distracted students, and much more.

And one major bonus reason to use Course Hero:

11. You want free access to study documents.

When you upload photos of your notes and classwork to Course Hero, you earn free unlocks, which you can use when you want to access all the study resources you need.
