We can’t even cite Wikipedia and expect a grade above 0. Now this guy thinks TEXTBOOKS should become little wikipedia’s?
It’s a mistake to think textbooks have to be in the mix. Traditionally the professor told students to go out and find their own books. He might make some recommendations and issue a reading list, but it was up to the student to learn what he needed in order to come to his classes and carry on intelligently with the professor/tutor. The idea of getting material from one textbook (often written by the professor) is a modern one and reduces the level of learning. If all one needed was a textbook, one could read it on one’s own without the professor or the high pricetag for the class.
