I urge you to confront this situation as I do. I don't use the...
textbook's problems at all; I assign problems separately. It is
more work than simply spewing out a string of numbers, but if I
do that then the students can use older editions of the text or
even other texts instead of buying a new one.
Perhaps there is some niche market out there of
ethical professors who do care what their students have to pay
for their books. Hello? Anyone else out there feel that way?
