SO, WHICH IS THE BEST?
Both Chegg and course hero offers various materials, and explanations, to help student with their studies basically, but both of them have more or less the same drawbacks. I think Chegg is better because they have various options, tools, book rental services, and music, which is so cool. The big thing that hit me and told me that Chegg is better was, that they just don’t concentrate on just school, they also provide us with life to an extent. And Chegg is also world-famous, and a little bit expensive when compared to Course hero, but who complains when they come with a package of things. Chegg does not have practice problems, while Course hero does. Course hero has more problems with plagiarism and copyright issues when compared to Chegg. But it’s totally up to the individual because the needs are different.
Conclusion
So according to this essay, I conclude that Chegg is better than Course hero. So one can read all the advantages and disadvantages of these two and choose what they want.
