Do you use Course Hero to check your work?

Back when I was in college I used to use Course Hero to check my work with some of the content on there. I never copied, or blatantly cheated off of it, just used it to make sure I understood what I was doing, and that all the work I had done was correct.

Is it misconduct to post your own study notes on Course Hero?

Just to be clear for yourself and also for other students who may see this: Looking at Course Hero notes to get ideas from past students about what they understood from the course and their study/revision notes etc is not misconduct. Uploading your own study notes you have from a course is not misconduct.

What happens if you copy from Course Hero without understanding?

If someone just directly copies without understanding they won't pass the course exams anyway. Just to be clear for yourself and also for other students who may see this: Looking at Course Hero notes to get ideas from past students about what they understood from the course and their study/revision notes etc is not misconduct.

Will I get in trouble for taking down an assignment from CourseHero?

I had to email her proof that the paper was removed since coursehero doesn't allow you to just take down assignments but, other than that, I did not get in trouble. Scared me though. Glad I came across this post. I literally just had the dean call me re my cousehero posts, all original btw, not sharing my info or the professor.
