based professor
Asus had some different ideas about libgen.rs 😯
I paid $1000 for books my first semester of college back in 2007. I felt so burnt and violated I never bought another textbook. I made it through the rest of undergrad, a masters, and a PhD in biochemistry by checking out books from the library, borrowing textbooks from friends, and going sailing. When I taught I made it a point to teach my students about all the ways they can avoid becoming a victim like myself.
The California Community College I went to allowed you to filter classes in the schedule by whether they offered ZTC - Zero Textbook Cost or OER - Open Educational Resource.
I love how he doesn't even bother trying to consistently maintain the facade. It's a *Chef's Kiss

In one of my uni courses, I found a free copy of the required textbook and posted a link to it on the forum in the LMS saying "Hey prof, is this the correct textbook?" By the time the prof responded and politely took my message down a week later, everyone had helped themselves to a copy.
Sites like that saved me thousands getting my psych degree. God bless professors like this. Also the ones who were like, "the new edition of the book you need for this semester is $500, but you can get the previous edition for $5 at this site. Here's copies of the pages that were changed." or "I photocopied every page you need for this semester from the book for all of you."
Our profit margin demands you buy over-priced books from our shop
College material monopolies should be illegal, just like all other monopolies. Want to give students an education in the real world? Let the free market determine textbook prices.
I once had a class where, day one, the professor said something like, "If you don't want to buy the book, that's fine with me. I can't tell you where to find a copy, but maybe one of your classmates can." Someone raised their hand and started rattling off a few useful websites.
Fuck Pearson
My Analysis professor once did basically the same thing in class. She said that we should never go to these websites, since they were illegal. Based lady.
I had a stats professor who told us to not buy the book. He would print out hand outs and gave them to us every class. He was super nice. One time a girl brought her bunny to class because she had to give it medicine on a schedule and he made her do show and tell lol.
That professor is legendary
Perfect professor fr
A creative way to tell a student how to download a free book while telling them “not to”. The professor probably just wants to teach and is as tired of the university bullshit as the students.
Textbook example of Streisand Effect.
I often usually post the chapters we use for my classes in case students haven't bought the book yet. I also have a hard $60 limit for books that I use.
These sites also usually have the solution manuals
Respect.
