Why We Use Human Experts
Why We Use Human Experts (Not AI)
AI tools fail at online courses. Our human experts don’t.
The Bottom Line
Every assignment at Finish My Math Class is completed by a human expert with verified credentials. We don’t use ChatGPT, Wolfram Alpha, Symbolab, or any AI tool to do your work. Why? Because AI fails — it makes calculation errors, doesn’t understand platform formatting, can’t take proctored exams, and offers no grade guarantee. Our human experts deliver A’s and B’s with accountability. That’s the difference.

Why We Don’t Use AI
Students ask us all the time: “Do you use ChatGPT to do my homework?” The answer is no — and here’s why that matters.
AI tools have gotten remarkably good at generating text and even solving some math problems. But “remarkably good” isn’t good enough when your grade is on the line. AI tools:
- Make confident-sounding errors — AI doesn’t know when it’s wrong
- Can’t guarantee results — there’s no accountability when AI fails
- Don’t understand platforms — MyMathLab, ALEKS, and Hawkes have specific formatting requirements AI doesn’t know
- Can’t take proctored exams — Honorlock, Respondus, and ProctorU require a real human
- Trigger plagiarism detection — AI-generated content is increasingly flagged by academic integrity tools
We’ve built our reputation on guaranteed results. We can’t guarantee results if we’re outsourcing your work to an unpredictable AI. That’s why every assignment is completed by a human expert who knows the math, knows the platform, and takes responsibility for the outcome.
How AI Fails at Online Courses
AI tools like ChatGPT, Wolfram Alpha, Symbolab, and Photomath can be useful for checking work or understanding concepts. But when you rely on them to complete graded assignments, they fail in predictable ways:
❌ Calculation Errors
AI makes arithmetic mistakes, drops negative signs, and botches multi-step problems. It’s especially bad at problems involving fractions, exponents, and algebraic manipulation. One wrong step cascades into a completely wrong answer.
❌ Wrong Answer Format
AI doesn’t know that MyMathLab wants “2/3” not “0.667” — or that ALEKS requires exact sig-figs. Students submit mathematically correct answers that get marked wrong because of formatting.
❌ Can’t Interpret Problems
Platform questions often include graphs, diagrams, or multi-part inputs. AI can’t “see” the full context of what’s being asked, especially in adaptive systems like ALEKS or Knewton Alta.
❌ No Platform Access
AI can’t log into MyMathLab or ALEKS. It can’t navigate Knowledge Checks, handle timed assessments, or submit work. You still have to do all the platform work yourself — and hope the AI answer fits.
❌ AI Detection Risk
Schools increasingly use AI detection tools. AI-generated explanations and written work get flagged. Even for math, the “show your work” sections can trigger academic integrity violations.
❌ No Accountability
When AI gives you the wrong answer and you fail, who’s responsible? No one. There’s no refund, no guarantee, no recourse. You absorb the loss.
Subject-Specific AI Failures
AI doesn’t fail equally across all subjects. Some areas are particularly problematic:
Algebra
AI struggles with multi-step equations, especially when factoring or completing the square. It often skips steps, makes sign errors, and can’t handle the specific input formats platforms require.
Statistics
AI frequently miscalculates p-values, misinterprets hypothesis tests, and can’t use SPSS, StatCrunch, or Excel. It doesn’t understand the logic of statistical inference — just pattern-matches from training data.
Chemistry
AI makes sig-fig errors constantly, struggles with stoichiometry, and can’t interpret spectroscopy data at all. It doesn’t know ALEKS Chemistry’s exact formatting requirements.
Calculus
AI can differentiate and integrate basic functions but fails on complex multi-step problems, especially u-substitution, integration by parts, and series convergence tests.
Platform Knowledge AI Lacks
Every online learning platform has quirks that AI doesn’t understand. Our human experts have completed thousands of assignments on these platforms and know exactly what each one requires:
| Platform | What AI Doesn’t Know |
|---|---|
| MyMathLab | Strict answer formatting, “Help Me Solve This” limitations, when to use fractions vs decimals, cumulative test patterns |
| ALEKS | Knowledge Check patterns, pie mastery requirements, how to avoid losing progress, adaptive question logic |
| Hawkes Learning | Certify mode mastery requirements, three-strike restart rules, exact input syntax |
| Knewton Alta | Adaptive loop behavior, mastery thresholds, how difficulty scaling affects strategy |
| WebAssign | Significant figure requirements, symbolic vs numeric answer modes, multi-part problem dependencies |
Our experts don’t just know math — they know platforms. That’s why our answers pass the auto-grader on the first try.
Proctored Exams Require Humans
AI absolutely cannot help with proctored exams. Proctoring software like Honorlock, Respondus LockDown Browser, ProctorU, and Examity uses webcams, screen monitoring, and behavior analysis to ensure a real human is taking the test.
🔐 What Proctoring Software Monitors
- Webcam feed — face detection and eye tracking
- Screen activity — no other tabs or applications allowed
- Audio — detects voices and background noise
- Browser lockdown — prevents copy/paste and navigation
- Behavior patterns — flags suspicious movements or timing
You can’t paste ChatGPT answers during a proctored exam. You can’t use Wolfram Alpha in another tab. You need a real human who can work within the proctoring constraints.
Our experts have successfully completed proctored exams on all major platforms. We know how to work within the rules and deliver results without triggering flags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you use AI or ChatGPT to complete assignments?
No. Every assignment is completed by a human expert with verified credentials. We don’t use ChatGPT, Wolfram Alpha, Symbolab, or any AI tool. AI makes too many errors and can’t handle platform-specific formatting.
Why is AI bad at math homework?
AI makes calculation errors, doesn’t understand platform formatting requirements, can’t interpret graphs or diagrams, and produces answers that get rejected by auto-graders. It’s also increasingly detected by academic integrity tools.
Can AI take my proctored exam?
No. Proctoring software like Honorlock, Respondus, and ProctorU monitors your webcam, screen, and browser. You can’t use AI tools during a proctored exam. Our human experts can work within proctoring constraints — AI cannot.
How do I know your experts are actually human?
Our experts are vetted professionals with verified academic credentials. Unlike AI, we can guarantee grades, handle proctored exams, navigate platform-specific requirements, and take accountability when something goes wrong.
What subjects do your human experts cover?
We have experts in algebra, statistics, calculus, chemistry, physics, precalculus, trigonometry, geometry, and more.
Is using your service confidential?
