12694032, its probably for a featured class Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Fri Jan-09-15 09:13 AM
Thats how the displays at my bookstore were set up
|
12694034, LOL no, it is not. I took this picture. Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 09:16 AM
Again, there are ZERO other "leisure" read books in this book store
If it helps, this is a HBCU bookstore

12694047, Can we not go POAST on a Friday? Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 09:33 AM
And if these are the ONLY NON-TEXTBOOKS in the bookstore then, there is a problem
|
12694183, Yeah, but... Posted by Case_One, Fri Jan-09-15 11:20 AM
>And if these are the ONLY NON-TEXTBOOKS in the bookstore >then, there is a problem >
Come on, you know that these are not the only non-text in that store. You know they have some mess by Steve Harvey and Oprah up in that joint.

>Come on, you know that these are not the only non-text in that >store. You know they have some mess by Steve Harvey and Oprah >up in that joint.

they even sold SCANTRON here i aint seen a SCANTRON in 15 years
im not going to call out which school this is at but it is a HBCU

gotsta!

12694298, Don't hate on the SCANTRON. Colleges still use them. Posted by Case_One, Fri Jan-09-15 12:42 PM
I know this for a fact because when I was working at Mercer University's School of Pharmacy I had to use that Scantron. Try grading test for classes that have 90 students and you will be grateful for that scantron.
I hated that job too.

12694071, thats more sad than anything else Posted by double negative, Fri Jan-09-15 09:52 AM
im immediately thinking about the lonely christian goodgirls staying in a friday night with those books and her back massager while her "loose" dorm-mate goes and gets it in at the club
|
12694077, you thinking social aspect , im thinking intellectual impact Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 09:57 AM
them books corrode the mind
|
12694076, Lot of HBCU bookstores are virtual now... Posted by murderbear, Fri Jan-09-15 09:57 AM
Probably too much overhead to house and constantly update various editions of texts.
I lot of schools have online bookstores that probably ship out of a shared, central location.
Brick and mortar campus stores are now just focused on supplies and school para, and maybe the odd 'flavor of the month' offering (like Zane)
|
12694082, welp, too late to edit now. Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 10:00 AM
you got me but even the college bookstore has been gobbled up by amazon and bn.com that's where all these bookstores feed off of anyway
whatever happened to walking down to the SC and copping whatever book that's on the shelf to tide you through a long crisp aired fall weekend? curl up in your XL twin bed with a book and a cup of cocoa and get lost in the story.
oh, yall aint do that?
|
12694084, I would feel like Zane paid for shelf space Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Jan-09-15 10:02 AM

12694347, Zane readers are probably the only ones dumb enough Posted by unfukwitable, Fri Jan-09-15 01:27 PM

12694375, Half the student body drops out after Homecoming Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 01:43 PM

12694378, If you're buying books from your college's bookstore you already lost Posted by Oak27, Fri Jan-09-15 01:45 PM

12694386, LOL some classes have books that can ONLY be bought at school Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 01:50 PM
i know this because i tried to be slick and buy my cousin's math book for her off Amazon nope nope that $125 book is good or only ONE USE because each book contains a code to access the homework problems online
this was at Stephen F Austin by the way
but yeah, i feel you and until i ran into this problem last year i'd say the same
oh, that math book was written by the professor who taught the course and was the dept chair so basically dude was making $125 per student he had enrolled in his class on top of his salary
and the book was really some bullshit pamphlet he had his assistants xerox using the schools paper/toner
|
12694393, We used to find "free" PDFs online and share them with the whole class Posted by Oak27, Fri Jan-09-15 01:55 PM
On more than one occasion we happened to find the teacher's edition with the answer book. After my freshmen year I think I spent less then $200 total on all future textbooks.
|
12694417, i never bought books in undergrad Posted by deejboram, Fri Jan-09-15 02:08 PM
>On more than one occasion we happened to find the teacher's >edition with the answer book. After my freshmen year I think I >spent less then $200 total on all future textbooks.
but im telling you at SFASU you pay $125 for an access code so you can do your homework problems one code is only good for ONE STUDENT so that is the professors hustle making each student for over $125 just to...
you know what, i smell a law suit because that's not fucking right shit, they even had a $200 biololgy/zoology book
|
12694452, Yeah that's some bullshit Posted by Oak27, Fri Jan-09-15 02:26 PM
That's a result of the majority of college kids not only realizing how ridiculous the prices of books are at the bookstore but finding an alternate solution and either buying them cheaper from Amazon or using one of the rental book dealers. Schools needed to find a new way to ensure their students are giving them as much money as possible even after paying the outrageous tuition bill.
