Thanks for the info. The only dilema of this is there are some sites giving assitance for free.

On the .edu topic. Students in the uk have .ac.uk email endings. Not very helpful.

Good luck to Eric, I’ll be dropping by to see if I can answer any questions.

@Ted

Thanks for the link. I’ve never seen AnswerU before.

Reading their “about” page, I noticed that “you can even share questions on Facebook using the “Share on Facebook” feature.”

You need a “.edu” email address and my university gives us a “.ca”

Seems sort of like http://www.answeru.com – A Yahoo answers for students. Though this one seems more focused on academics and studying, which I like.

I agree. There shouldn’t be a punishment based solely on the study group being “online” vs. “offline.” If this was to be uniformly enforced, there wouldn’t be a student left on campus.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for writing about OneBigU. I really appreciate it.

I have also been following the news on the Facebook Study Group. I personally believe that students have always helped each other out, whether it’s over the Internet, or just outside the classroom. Students will continue to do so, regardless of what the verdict is on the Facebook case.

Thanks again for the review!
Eric
