Title: Online Course Exams
Post by: blackbolt on July 19, 2011, 02:14 pm
I would like to see experts that are available to complete online work assignments and/or exams.  This may be very difficult to administer but it would be an excellent addition to SR.

What kind of exams?

For various courses and exams. Online students that do not have the time to study can use a service to allow experts in a particular field to take an exam or do assignments for them for a BC fee.

I am not about to risk the cost of a merchant account on SR over it, but I would be very interested in something like this. I've done it locally for a few people and would love to see a marketplace for it.

For anyone interested, I know economics, finance, math, and statistics very thoroughly (i.e. I concentrated in these fields in my degree); for online college work (especially undergrad) I could handle a lot more breadth.

That is great. Maybe SR is not the kind of place for it but it would be a great opportunity since more and more people are starting to take online courses.  Some of the issues to tackle would be to make sure that the expert is legitimate and the customer does not completely rip off the expert. This is something I may look into.

I'm more excited about this idea than I probably should be, but now I'm itching to make it happen. Anyone can feel free to message me on SR (I don't check the forums often) to see if we can work something out in the absence of a real system for now. I'm thinking I could do easier difficulty assignments (easier for me anyway, especially math) for 1.0 BTC, but it can be negotiated on a case by case basis. My college GPA was 3.9 at a business school.
