That really pisses me off - there's no way a textbook should cost that much.
Hey, what is the class and how is the book used in your syllabus?

I know a lot of you have made a lot more then me, but I'm trying and learning. but I also realize that I would be more poor if I didn't make what I have so far.. so although I'm not 100% satisfied with where I am right now; I won't give up.

Human sexualities and the assignments and quizes are only on the software the book provides.

No book should ever cost $300 unless it's bound with gold and jewels. They only charge students that because colleges make these books a necessity, giving the students no choice.

No, they don't make that much money on developing these texts actually, many college publishers are actually very low-profit industries and some have gone out of business lately. When I develop my classes I rely on OERs as much as possible, but I know it's difficult to get that approved at the larger institutions.

Why do teachers not care if the book THEY chose is going to kill the poor college student.
Sometimes it's mandated by the university -- because they get a percentage of sales. Sometimes the teachers themselves get a percentage of sales.

There are only a few big textbook publishers -- and they make good money.

I was SUPPOSED to have this qual cause the req had a broken ass hit and they said they would just give me the qual....that was weeks ago and I've not had a reply to my emails since.


Waiting 6 days for my 15$ makes me sad.

Is this just for a 1$ follow up hit? Did anyone do this last year?
I did last year and year before. It is a one time follow up hit for $1, super easy.
