The Textbook Industry & Greed: My Story
I'm amazed that universities ALLOW their professors to make payment-required textbook-tied online exercises part of their courses.<p>You're already paying tuition, you shouldn't have to pay extra just to do the homework. That's insane. It's no different from having to pay additional money to take the midterm.<p>After all, the professors and publishers make money from this, not the university. As far as I can tell, it can only reflect badly on a university -- so why don't they have policies in place against this? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like a blatant abuse of power for financial gain on the part of professors.
