QDear 100 Hour Board,

So...this 100 Hour Board thing is BYU's. Do other schools have boards like this where students can post questions?

-Boom Chacalaca


ADear Boom,

The closest thing would be the University of Illinois's Question Board; Board Question #19596 and Board Question #15038 have more information.   However, it is significantly different from us, and one former writer who attended the University of Illinois said it "should not in any way, shape or form be compared to the 100 Hour Board."   (On a similar note, I was chatting with Katya and we started talking about them, and she warned me that it was about 2/3 sex advice.   Just so you're warned too.)

Cornell also has a question-answering service, Dear Uncle Ezra, though (again) it's not much like ours.   (Hobbes and habiba, among others, have run across it.)

Some people at UVU (UVSC at the time) were interested in starting their own variation on the Board years ago, and contacted us for advice, but I haven't heard anything more about that.

BYU's Center for Teaching and Learning has a feature called "Dear Professor, Dear Student" that deals with questions from BYU students and faculty related to teaching and learning.

I suspect that there are many services with a limited scope, like "Dear Professor, Dear Student", but if you mean somewhere where you can ask anything you want, with volunteer students giving the answer, we appear to be the only collegiate group in existence.   (Readers, prove me wrong if you can.)
