Do you want unlimited access to past exams, notes, and other assignments from your courses?

I’m just going to take a wild guess here and say your answer is, “yes”.  After all, what student wouldn’t want to make a class much easier.  The practice of passing around old notes, quizzes, tests, and study guides is no new concept. College students have been doing this for a long time now. The problem is, in the past many people were missing out on these excellent resources.  That all has changed now thanks to a website called Koofers.com.

What is Koofers.com?

Koofers’s philosophy is to “level the playing field” for all students.

It is an online community where students can share all of their old assignments from past courses. On the site, you can connect with students in your class, as well as with students in equivalent courses nationwide. Koofers.com doesn’t only provide you with a great place to find past quizzes, notes, exams, and other assignments, the site has some other great features as well.

Features

  • Share exams, quizzes, and other assignments.
  • Create & review flashcards online.
  • Rate & review your professors.
  • Read reviews on courses.
  • Grade Distributions.
  • Create & print the perfect schedule.
  • …& more.

How Koofers.com is Useful.

I am a firm believer of putting in as little effort possible while still making good grades.  Koofers.com helps a lot with this. You can find notes, quizzes, and old notes that students have posted.  This takes some of the workload off of you, which makes it easier to study, since the materials you need are readily available.

Another way studying is made easier with Koofers.com is the ability to make flashcards online.  It is very simple to make flashcards for an upcoming test or quiz that you have. Once a set is created, you can review them online with an easy to use interface.  Not only can you create your own set of flashcards, but you can review sets other students have created as well.

I don’t know of a more versatile way to collaborate online with other students. With features like note sharing, professor ratings, and course reviews, it’s a wonder why all college students aren’t using it.

    It may be useful and students may do it anyways, but sharing tests is cheating whether its online or not. That's professors' work they are ripping off. Do you have to obtain professor permission for this?

      If a professor lets you keep a test, I would assume it is then yours, and you can share it with others. Not sure though. Koofers has an Academic Integrity page where you can check this out further.

      Groups have been going this for a long time now, and as far as I know, Universities have done little to stop it.

      Permanently returned materials are generally fair game for sharing & studying. The Auburn policy is one example of many, but clearly states:

      Student Academic Honesty Code

      CHAPTER 1201 Violations:

      3. selling, giving, lending, or otherwise furnishing to any other person any material which can be shown to contain the questions or answers to any examination scheduled to be given at some subsequent date in any course of study, EXCLUDING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FROM TESTS PREVIOUSLY ADMINISTERED AND RETURNED TO A STUDENT BY THE INSTRUCTOR;

This has been so remarkably generous with you to offer openly all a few people could have made available as an ebook in order to make some bucks for their own end, chiefly considering the fact that you might have tried it in the event you decided. These tips additionally served to become a easy way to fully grasp that most people have the same passion much like mine to know somewhat more regarding this problem. I’m sure there are millions of more pleasant times up front for folks who see your blog post.

    “I am a firm believer of putting in as little effort possible while still making good grades.”

    Really?! I don’t think in today’s marketplace you should advocate coasting as a viable option for student.

    People increasingly need to stand out from the pack.

    Physical proximity also helped the three executives develop a strong sense of trust and respect, and they soon looked for other ways to collaborate, such as hiring a shared grant writer who brings in grants for all three organizations.
