Meanwhile my college professor was the author of the textbook and workbook that were required materials for the class conveniently sold at ridiculous prices in the college book store and could only be used once due to needing to tear out pages to turn in.
I had one of those but he just printed it out for us :D
That would’ve been fantastic to not have to shell out hundreds for his required gen ed
Most of the time those professors make next to nothing from you buying the book. Unless it's their direct commercial product, they're getting screwed just like you are.
