You could always use one of the absolutely free online books. Cheers, [Karl L. Wuensch]<http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/klw.htm> From: Pollak, Edward [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 09, 2015 4:10 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: RE:[tips] Teaching Introductory without a required textbook?
Doug asked, " Has anyone tried teaching introductory psychology with either an optional textbook or without a required textbook at all? If so what was your experience? ." To which Karl replied, "A fair number of my undergrad students never buy the book. They tell me that they rely on my online lecture notes alone." I find that pretty appalling, Karl. One of my students once wrote on ratemyprofessors.com "Don't take Pollak. You have to go to class AND read the book!" To this day, I remain exceedingly proud of that comment. Edward I.
