One class- SEVEN text books?

Is that normal??? I have never taken a class that required more than three books, seven feels extremely excessive. I mean, I get that we need to buy materials and need reading for the course, but really? Seven??

Re: One class- SEVEN text books?

  • I had 9 books to buy the first semester of my master's program. Every semester there has been less and less reading. Good luck!

  • Depends on the class/course topics. Mine are always a shot in the dark, plus it depends on who is teaching it at my school.

  • LOL- my one class this semester required 42 books. Granted they are all children/young adult books, but they still add up!

  • I have one required text listed, along with about a dozen recommended books, in my syllabus.   I would see what is on reserve at the library and then figure out what you really need to buy.

    Professors get desk/exam (i.e. FREE) copies of books... and are usually passionate about what they teach. I think they tend to forget that the cost of books add up quickly!

    I took Adolescent Lit for my BS degree and it was great. My H took it with me for his BA in English lit elective course and he didn't like it.   The course I'm taking now is Literature and Resources for Children, and then I think I have 5 more classes to take after this semester to be certified as a K-9 School Librarian specialist.
