Sounds like a grade A beautiful being of a professor. Did he write the textbook?

Nope...standard textbook...and...he was perhaps my favorite professor. He made us write...and write...and write...more than in any other class I had...and I learned from him.

I dont know if you guys know this but now more and more college books are coming with some BS access code which the teachers are requiring the use of. These are one time use codes that cannot be used again.

So.. when you buy a book with the access code you can almost never sell the book since everyone will be buying a new book for the access code.

My Psych class its ridiculous, the teacher is the author and I bought a used copy, I went online to buy the access code and its as much as the damn book, so I had to buy a new copy.

So the teacher is forcing people to buy new books, Used books will become a thing of the past now. Its quite ridiculous.
