This journal article dives into the costs of producing college level text books to decide if they're adequately and reasonably. Publishers clam that one of the largest factors in higher book prices is the sale of used books by the school book stores, used book dealers, and students. The publisher loses money overtime as their books are resold and not new copies being purchased. This works out for the student in the short-term but in the end increases overall book prices as the publisher will…

Detention he said. I simply asked “why?”. He replied with a stern, touch-too-loud tone of voice and said “don’t argue with me Ms Elizabeth. I will see you after school.” So after debating whether or not to go I decided to show up to this undeserved detention. Usually detention is a class of people and we all just have to sit there and do work or something, but I walked in and I was the only one. Mr Hensley was sitting at the back of the class reading a book titled ‘Lolita’. He knew it was my…

How could a textbook have it wrong? How could the information all students learned be missing key information and not even reflect the reality of most historical events? Throughout this class we have been asked to question and challenge the way history has been told and to challenge everything that has been told to us for so many years. This course accomplished that thought process for me and made me look at information given to me in a different way. Speaking from a high school perspective,…

per year on textbooks. (This figure is much higher for students at for-profit colleges and trade schools.) Between 2002 and 2013, the price of college textbooks rose 82 percent — nearly three times the rate of inflation, according to a recent study by the Government Accountability Office. That is a lot of money for a college student but what makes it even a hard spent money is you will be lucky to get a small fraction of that amount trying to resell the books back to your college. Textbook costs…

4a. Is the belief or assertion that the textbook IS a textbook rational? Remember, it is a rational belief only if there is good evidence for it. Can you find good evidence for it in the textbook itself (i.e., can you find evidence or reasons provided by the author of the textbook)? (Rely mostly on pp. 3-9; browse through the book for some other relevant clues.) What, exactly, is the content of the belief being defended? The book looks like a textbook and is it meant to use as an assigned…

Why E-BOOK? We all know that textbooks are one of the main concerns before classes start. In fact, virtually every college student has experienced how difficult can be when carrying textbooks from one class to another. Textbooks are big, heavy, bulky and take up space. Some textbooks have more than a thousand of pages and are very expensive to purchase. The e-book is the best alternative for college students. It has great choices for all college students which can help, solve problems and save…

digital revolution, textbooks are an obtrusive object of the past that should be replaced with tablets in the K-12 school system. As a matter of fact, the great debate of whether to exchange heavy obtrusive textbooks for light, portable tablets has been going on in the school systems for years now. There are cons to this act, but there are many more pros that override the negatives. To help students move into the digital era and be more involved, schools need to replace textbooks with…

There are many differences between the textbook chapter in eLearn and the textbook in connect. There also many similarities between the two. First the textbook chapters in eLearn get straight to the point, and it does not use any extra words in the chapter. The Connect textbook uses more in depth wording, and it explains it as much as it can. ELearn is not really the usual textbook, it is more of a step by step process you go through to read and learn the information. To many people this is very…
