Curriculum on curriculum. Sounds like a way to squeeze the student for some more money.
I disliked buying book even when I got them used they were way to expensive. There was a smart fellow who had an off campus books store where I used to save money and they were so evil they tried to shut him down.
College text book sales and publishing is such a scam.
I just visited my sister on campus this weekend and helped her buy some books. She bought 5 paperback books and spent about $350!!! She was on the verge of tears and I was just in shock. I can't wait to see how much they try to give her when she sells them back.
You're taking an ESL class? What's your native language?
music ed is your major? is that a k-12 degree?? i was 7-12 english ed, but i have heard, that of the eds :), music is the most demanding.............good luck to ya.........!!
I was in Ocean City NJ over the weekend (day trip with friends); got two abridged volumes of poetry for $3.01. I daresay I'll learn more from them than I did from any of my $45 textbooks in college. (I think they must have been sold by the pound.)
BTW - the word verification thing goes perfectly with that mixed-up-word post you had.

Whew, girl. Definately - GOOD LUCK.
I hated buying college books - it always depressed me. They are so stinking expensive.
Good Luck! With the first day and the long lines.
