Koofers.com encourages ALL of our members to strictly adhere to their university Honor Code(s), as well as all other applicable policies (e.g. department, subject, course, or instructor policies).
"Koofers" or Koofer materials are previously taken exams, quizzes, or notes, which are saved for future students' use as study guides. Koofers provide insight into an instructor's examination methods, as well as numerous practice problems.
No. Registering with koofers.com is no different than joining a student club or organization, such as fraternities, sororities or even the math club that stockpiles koofers (In fact, the vast majority of koofers on our site were donated by student and social organizations). How you choose to use (or not use) the koofers available to you determines whether you are compliant with university honor codes, as well as any policies associated with your departments, subjects, courses, and instructors.
Policies regarding the use of koofers can vary by university, department, course, and instructor. Koofers.com is not affiliated in any way or form with any university; therefore students (or koofers.com members) are solely and personally responsible for knowing, understanding, and adhering to all policies and/or Honor Codes that govern them.
We at koofers.com strongly suggest you refer to each syllabus that you receive in every class. If you have any questions about the acceptable use of koofers, ask your instructor for clarification. If you are still unsure, do not hesitate to contact your Honor System.
We do not provide information regarding your use of this website to anyone. Koofers.com does not even keep a record of which koofers you download or search for.
Yes. We allow (and encourage) instructors to register with our service. Many instructors actually distribute koofers to their students. We invite instructors to upload these materials to make them easily accessible to all students (Instructor uploaded koofers are identified in search results). Instructors are also able to view all koofers on the site.
The
only difference between account types is that "Instructor" accounts allow uploaded koofers to be prioritized and identified [as "instructor koofers"] in search results.
The option to register as an instructor is offered on the registration confirmation page (after you click the link in your confirmation e-mail). If you forgot to request an instructor account during the confirmation process, you may submit a request for “instructor” status by clicking
HERE. Please note that your e-mail MUST be validated as an instructor e-mail BEFORE we will grant “instructor” status. Koofers.com reserves the right to contact you or the university to verify your instructor status.
