Online textbooks are the biggest scam on the planet.

Get the questions and do them and hand them in by email or hard copy. If the Prof refuses, tell the dept head. Most (all?) colleges and universities have policies that prevent instructors from discriminating based on the method HW is handed in, provided you're not doing something ridiculous. Hell, say you can't afford it and the school may pay for it for you if the prof refuses to back down.

Not necessarily. My accounting professors refuse homework if it's done on photocopied pages from the working papers all the time. It's a copyright violation and it's illegal. They are within their rights to refuse such work turned in...on the other hand, if I do the work in Excel on forms I generate myself, it's fine.

Right. What I meant, though, is that the prof is usually prohibited from ONLY accepting homework if it was, say, sent by UPS overnight to a Bangladesh address. If she had that policy, the school would force them to accept something handed to them as well.

In this case, if you can SEE what the problems are and work them out on your own, your school should force the prof to accept answers written on college-ruled paper handed in in class before the due date.
