School’s out! You probably don’t want to think about tests and finals right now, but it might be worth bringing back the painful memories. Good study materials are one of the keys to excelling in school. Unfortunately, I hated taking notes, highlighting my reading materials, and making review guides. It wasn’t laziness–I felt that these activities interfered with real learning. Luckily most of my friends were more concerned with getting good grades, so I’d generally find a way to bring enough value during review sessions to piggyback off of them. Today technology has removed the need for making friends in your classes thanks to Course Hero. It’s a Redwood City, CA based company that “was founded in 2008 by a Cornell University student who missed a class and realized there had to be a better way to get caught up than awkwardly asking a stranger for notes.” Luckily this guy skipped straight past abusing friendships and instead built a platform that “provides a suite of digital educational resources that help you learn as efficiently and effectively as possible.”
When I was in college there were services that provided class notes for a fee. They came in packets printed on red paper so that you couldn’t photocopy them (we scanned them and adjusted the contrast). CourseHero takes out the middleman and makes it social. If you share your materials, you can access other people’s materials. If you have nothing to upload, you can pay for an upgraded membership. It’s a pretty simple idea, but it takes a lot of participation to actually work. Course Hero has more than 7 million documents available, so they must be doing something right. If you’d like to help them keep growing that number, visit Course Hero’s Careers page. Right now they’re looking for a Campus Manager, a Customer Support Representative, and a Software Engineer.
