Students Get Savvier about Textbook Buying,
The Chronicle of Higher Education, January 2013
Emma Anderson, 21Political science, U. of California at Berkeley
“Usually when I don’t buy it, it’s because I’ve found that you actually don’t need it for the class.”
Jennifer Bi, 20Economics, U. of California at Berkeley
“My most expensive class was clinical psych, because she writes the textbook herself, and it has a new edition every semester or something ridiculous. So it was like almost $200. And the thing is that you can’t use the previous edition, because she changes it herself because she knows the textbooks sell well. It’s like so manipulative.”
Marie Efira, 63Anthropology, Foothill College
“I had to take very few classes, because each time the price of the book more than doubles the tuition fee. It took me much longer to get my degree.”

“Many students attending HCC have difficulty with the cost of college. Some students do not purchase books at all; other students use outdated editions or non-assigned books.
In addition, the cost of textbooks may prevent students from taking an optimal course load. A reduced course load means more years in college and reduces the likelihood of completion.
For these reasons, faculty were concerned that the cost of textbooks was interfering with student success.
A faculty committee, with the support of administration, decided to make cost a primary consideration in the textbook adoption process.”

“A group of six full-time and six adjunct HCC psychology faculty members participated in the adaptation of FWK’s Introduction to Psychology textbook.
The adaptation was necessary in order to lower the reading level to one that the faculty felt was appropriate for HCC students (12th grade) and to incorporate additional learning objectives and key terms that they had identified as being essential to the course.
Additional video links, relevant examples, and cross-cultural information were also added to the text.”
