@the.mr.rich: university textbooks are a SCAM! not only are they insanely overpriced but oftentimes they are written by the very person teaching the course and are part of the mandatory readings which means if you don't buy them - you can't pass the course! how is this system allowed to continue when it's so obviously double dipping on already impoverished uni students? #university #textbooks #education #teachersoftiktok
At Flinders university they are required to have a free online version for all students and at least two copies in each available library

You don't have to buy them. It takes less than 5s per page to open the online version, screenshot every page, and tell your AI to collate the screenshots into a Word document. AI collating screenshots breaks any pdf... document security feature.

Textbooks are absolute bs! Should be able to access it on your university’s online search engine or DON’T INCLUDE IT
