Hi all, Recent comments from others at SFU have got me thinking about textbook requirements for fall courses. Normally I put my course text on reserve at the library (along with recommended but not required texts), so that students who may not
wish to / are not able to afford the text book can still access the material. There is quite a cheap alternative text for the course I’m scheduled to teach this fall ($10 for the ebook rather than $120 for the ebook text I’m currently using), which is financially
very appealing, but pedagogically it doesn’t match the needs of the course and our students’ background as well. In reaching a decision, I am trying to weigh all aspects of access and learning. I’d be very interested in hearing others’ thoughts on this, and
what you are planning to do about texts for the fall. Thanks, Nancy -- |
