    I’ve had multiple professors assign their own books, and they were all well written and decently priced? Feel like a much bigger issue is the first-year mandatory textbooks that come with a single use code for assignments/quizes and are forced on the faculty by the administration. Those usually cost at least 3 times as much, and is content you can find easily on youtube. Feels like it’s intentionally focusing on something that feels vaguely “corrupt”, but it costs students a lot less than the backroom deals with textbook publishers.
