Since 2006, Course Hero has helped college students find the necessary resources—student notes, study guides, help from tutors, and more—to graduate confident and prepared. Today, just in time to help students study for midterms and finals, the company unveils its most engaging set of features yet, including new study guides, interactive Practice ProblemsBETA, and a redesigned Study Dashboard to help students keep track of their courses. "For more than a decade, we've been helping students graduate confident and prepared," said Andrew Grauer, Course Hero cofounder and CEO. "We are excited to continue investing in technology, content development, and partnerships with educators to help build toward our vision." New Study Guides "Students are always looking for more ways to help them digest and understand core concepts from class," said Course Hero Product Manager Chelsea Hegge. "These guides are a great way to reinforce what students are learning from their professors," she added. Practice ProblemsBETA "We're using machine learning technology to help students discover a range of relevant practice problems," says Course Hero Product Manager Shawn Jolly. "It's ideal for retrieval practice and exam prep." The company's initial Practice Problems are in the subjects of microeconomics, macroeconomics, general economics, financial accounting, and biology; more sets will be added in coming weeks. The tool is available for free. A demo version can be seen at https://www.coursehero.com/demo/Average-versus-Marginal-Costs/.
