	+ ------ + ''2009-01-17 10:57:06'' [[nbsp]] I can't believe people are complaining about a $75 book. For a science textbook, I consider that cheap (anyone science major would agree). And not to defend Dr. Applegate, but if I were in her place, I'd be doing the same thing. Why assign a more expensive nutrition textbook that someone else wrote when she could create her own at a lower price that she knows like the back of her hand? Not to mention that she was the nutritional adviser for the Sac Kings, helped to implement the idea of salads existing in fast food places to deter improper nutrition, and has been dedicating her career to education...god forbid she try to make an extra 10 grand a year. However, if I was in her place, I'd have the students have the textbook separate from the worksheets so that they are able to sell the textbook back and/or have other students be able to buy used ones. But that is just my $0.02... --["Users/SunjeetBaadkar"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-01-16 15:41:35'' [[nbsp]] So this Ms. Applegate probably makes a royalty of about 10% list price for each book she sells. Doing the math that puts her making $7.50 a book for at her count at least 2000 students a year. So by requiring new books for each student she is scamming them out of $15,000 a year. What a nice lady. --["Users/jamesdifilippo"]

- * A scam similar to this is when a course releases a new edition of a textbook every year and makes the ''newest'' edition the required reading. This is often done despite the fact that the newer edition is newer in name only and not content. However, this is easier to circumvent than the Applegate Scam because the old books are usually a passable substitute for the new ones; you can just ignore the requirement of the most recent edition.	+ * A scam similar to this is when a course releases a new edition of a ["textbooks" textbook] every year and makes the ''newest'' edition the required reading.

	+ * this is a really good question. I believe authors of text books do not make the same profit as novels. I believe the publishing company gets most of the money. In fact, I beleive many professors who write text books do not make royalties at all? I could be wrong though. It would be great if someone had some expert opinion on this.

If we were allowed to photocopy these sections we would be able to sell the textbook and save a significant amount of money. + + --Philip Neustrom + + Her response (giving her reason -- cheating issues) + + As explained in class, unfortunately many students turn in other + students previous work through copies -- by submitting original forms + this is minimized. The course is offered 4 times a year with over + 2000 students and this form of cheating has been a major problem. + + I've worked directly with the bookstore to reduce the cost of the + book and certainly understand the expense of college text books for + students. + + Dr. A + + + I don't see how an original form is any less prone to being copied than a non-original form. I could simply look at someone's previous Diet Project and copy their figures onto my new form. After all, it's very easy to tell pen/pencil from photocopied text. + + I'm guessing that it's hard to imagine a situation in which a student would photocopy a 'clean' set of forms without having access to an also filled out set of forms from which they could also copy results from. If you provided the forms for print off your website you would be able to significantly cut the cost of the reader for the over 2000 students that take the class a year. Further, the forms would be in a convient location that wouldn't encourage students to participate with students who had already completeted the assignment. + + --Philip Neustrom +

	+ * A scam similar to this is when a course releases a new edition of a textbook every year and makes the ''newest'' edition the required reading. This is often done despite the fact that the newer edition is newer in name only and not content. However, this is easier to circumvent than the Applegate Scam because the old books are usually a passable substitute for the new ones; you can just ignore the requirement of the most recent edition.
