Expensive textbooks are the norm. Even worse, it's common now to package the book with a key for some online quiz service. You have to buy the brand new $100-200 book to get a valid key, so you can't try to get by with an old edition or share books.
- enriquto 6y agoThis is really shitty. How do students put up with that?
- dan-robertson 6y agoAnd how do their professors justify the cost that their choices imply?
- cnasc 6y agoIn college I just didn’t buy textbooks because they were rarely necessary. A few classes (economics in particular) sometimes assigned homework problems in textbooks which would be randomized between editions so I couldn’t get a cheap used version. I just asked a classmate if I could take pictures of the relevant pages and never had a problem.
