Cancer Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Pulled the trigger and irrevocably selected the free download for the textbook of my algebra-based mechanics course in the fall. That's about $300 each that Pearson won't get from my students. Old Man and Pariah 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I've used open source textbooks for my physics and chemistry classes from the last six or seven years. The State Board of Education actually produces a series of OER (open source) textbooks for math and science here. I've been a part of the group that develops them.

Cancer Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Meanwhile, I find myself contemplating subversion of the system with course names like, e.g., The Physics of Mud Wrasslin', just to get students in the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Are you building the superhero that functions in RL, or just one that exists in your head? If the latter, then an alternate course title is "Oh Wow, Man". Still legitimate chemistry, though. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
