https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentNurse/comments/rvfon2/i_knew_college_textbooks_were_expensive_but/ My school found a way to link online assignments to the books so if we want to pass they need to be purchased. It just baffles me because I sure as hell know people were able to complete nursing school without all these costs for many many years before us. For 4 semesters our books were bought for $2,500 and we had 36 months of access. There was no choice to ot buy any one book it had to be bought as a package. The school is also concept based so each concept came from multiple books and online programs within the package, so if somehow you didn't buy one you would be missing a piece of every concept I just paid $400 for this semester alone. Thankfully they bundled out books for the first 2 semesters for the low price of $800…. It’s such a grab. Here. Pay $$$$ for tuition, then pay $$$ for online homework. Bitch, what? Why am I paying for assignments?? Holy crap. My program’s textbooks are $1800 for the entire 4 semesters, paid up front the first semester!
Online homework like ALEKS, Mastering Engineering, Zybooks, etc are starting to get on my nerves. It's $100+ a semester for these. Granted, some of them come with books, but if you're like me and buy your books used the codes are always already used. I'm just sick of having to pay to do homework on mostly crappy websites. Most of them don't even show you how to do the problem if you got it wrong, like Mastering Engineering just shows you the right answer, with nothing to show how it's done. It's a stupid system professors use it so they don't have to grade homeworks. this is exactly what pisses me off!!! I just assume when a professor assigns any "mastering..." or alike programs that they're lazy and cant imagine spending the time going over our work. Regardless, this is college so they shouldn't have to grade our work, if we have an issue, we know where to go/what to do. I liked the way one of my old math professors graded homework. Pick 5 problem # at random, from set of homework, and only grade those problems on all the students homework. I have to pay 133 bucks for two online quizzes. Homework is ungraded. Fucking pissed.
I was just ranting about this (elsewhere obviously) the other day. I'm still a freshman and my physics class costs $94 for one semester. My alternatives are pay $125 for lifetime access, buy the $209 book new, or lose 20% of my grade. Frankly, I'm almost afraid of what the costs are gonna be in higher level classes - I'm already scraping by financially.
而且基础课特简单还必须修，不修不能上高级课程。
100美元倒是不多，可一个教授上两三门课很难相信没有利益输送。
上完课，账号没了，查notes都不可得。根本跟国内我们读大学不能比，再差也有本书看。
这是什么垃圾大学啊。。真心不如国内大学。
有的教授列10门课， 这得多少钱啊？！ 美帝大学， 教授， 医生， 政客，， 整个社会彻底垃圾化。
