Many have a misconception about exactly what Course Hero is and what it’s intended for. In fact, while Course Hero is meant to help with your coursework, it is both ethical and holds its users to standards. That means that any form of plagiarism, cheating, or copyright abuse is prohibited. All users, as well as Course Hero itself, comply with both federal and local laws in terms of anything that could be perceived as ‘unfair’ advantages. Put more simply, Course Hero is meant to be used legally and ethically. However, it can be used in a way that goes against, potentially, your institutions’ standards so it’s best to first verify.
