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.

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.

I really think Khan Academy should publish a textbook that everyone can use. Cheap or free, doesn't change every year, allowed to print out yourself.

Isn't one of the Gates kids doing some educational reform?

I don't think the problem is the availability, it's probably the adoption. But I'm not in higher ed.

I see some profs trying to choose good books, but they don't seem to be able. But I'm also not in higher ed.

Exactly. We already have stuff like OpenStax. Great content, but comparatively little adoption by faculties.
