every dollar prevented from going to cengage or pearson is a win for college students
but their online homework and grading subscriptions that they tie in with textbooks is definitely making it harder, especially the way they pay off schools to push their texts and curriculum on professors in stem fields, it’s awful and puts students in a position where they’re forced to pay for a textbook regardless
Not at all, from my experience they teach you how to use the websites and programs needed to complete assignments and nothing more, same went for teachers and faculty who would have no idea how to do things like change inputs on displays, turn on projectors, tell the difference between online and local versions of software, etc

I do get that a lot of us don’t really have any support networks or healthy outlets for our struggles with dysphoria and could really use someone to help ground our anxieties, so I don’t want that to be taken away from those who really need that, but on the other hand this is a pretty closely knit public forum where posts are seen by many people who are less vocal so i’m curious to see how others feel
