Survey for Class!

[SydneyK]

Took it.

As a faculty member, I'm interested in knowing what kind of response you get. One semester, I taught a class that used only one physical book (a cheap one, to boot) and many supplemental e-texts. (That's one of the benefits of Philosophy. Many classics have been available online - free - for years now.) I structured my class that way only once because of all the complaints I got. I guess it didn't matter that students could print the material if they wanted to; the biggest problem seemed to be the inconvenience of having to go online to read something. Maybe it wouldn't be so poorly received now that Kindle is available. ?? Interesting topic for a survey, though.

Didn't know this but I will be sure to look it up, it might add an interesting dimension to my presentation.
