Pointless
March 27, 2020

By the time you actually get help of any sort, the assignment will no longer be relevant. This was definitely a waste of time and money.

So, Chegg is notorious among college students, and professors are frankly lazy, which is why this site exists. I say they're lazy because hundreds of schools use the exact same homework in each course. The issue comes into play with the answer accuracy. It's awful.

I paid for this service last year during midterms to help me with some of the busywork. Turns out the textbook questions and answers were only 70% correct. This is awful, and for $15 per month, no way. This was consistent in multiple textbooks. My chemistry textbook was the exception, but questions were still not accurate, erven if they did create a valid framework to work off of.

And here's a big dinger on the questions. You can vote on how helpful the answer was. A question answered FOUR YEARS PRIOR had 200 downvotes and 10 upvotes and is still there as the only answer and advertised as available. Stay away.

Customer support is where it takes another bad turn; absolutely no refunds for any reason. Couldn't get the money back from my bank either because technically their terms of service to explicitly prevent refunds, but if you can't use the service, then they should give you your money back.

Stay away; yahoo answers was surprisingly more helpful.

As a long-time user of Chegg Homework Help, I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with the recent changes to the website and the overall level of service provided. My experience with the new website design has been nothing short of frustrating, characterized by malfunctioning features and poor usability.

Website Design and Functionality Issues

The new website design is not user-friendly and does not function properly. Navigating through the platform has become a cumbersome task, with features often failing to work as intended. The overall user experience has significantly deteriorated, making it increasingly challenging to find and access the necessary study materials and resources.

Ineffective Customer Service

Attempting to seek help from customer service has been an exercise in futility. Long wait times coupled with unhelpful responses have only added to my frustration. Despite reaching out for assistance, I have been met with a lack of viable solutions to the issues I encountered while using the platform.

Lack of Compensation for Non-Functional Services

Furthermore, there is a distinct lack of compensation for services paid for that do not work. Despite paying for reliable access to study materials and academic support, the platform's inefficiencies have left me without the benefits I rightfully paid for. The absence of any form of reimbursement or compensation for the subpar services provided is simply unacceptable.

Incoherent Support

Additionally, the lack of communication and coherence among support agents has been evident. It is disheartening to experience a disconnect between different support representatives, leading to unnecessary repetition of issues and a lack of efficient problem resolution.

Ineffectiveness of AI Help Bot

The AI help bot, which should ideally provide efficient and relevant assistance, has proven to be equally ineffective. It merely regurgitates the same advice as the human representatives, offering no additional value or innovative solutions.

Conclusion

Overall, my experience with Chegg Homework Help has been marred by the new website's design flaws, unhelpful customer service, absence of compensation for non-functional services, incoherent support, and an unimpressive AI help bot. I am left feeling deeply dissatisfied and disillusioned with the platform's deteriorating quality of service. It is my hope that Chegg Homework Help takes these criticisms seriously and works towards rectifying these issues to restore its reputation for providing reliable academic support.
