| I got a copy of a biology book from last fall quarter, it's completely changed.
I've got a heckling this biology department is into the whole exploiting students funds for the publishers benefit. Most of the books are loose-leaf bound special cal poly only editions. These are good editions for first time purchasers because they're $10-15 cheaper new, however there are almost no used editions available. I'd take a used book over a new book for $10.
At the same time it looks good because they're trying to make an effort to reduce our costs, but it doesn't translate that way. The best way to get cheap books is to just keep them the same for years and years and years -> how much does introductory biology change anyway? |
