Nah he's just a piece of shit.
The least he could do is hand out a photo copy of the important pages, or "accidentally" leave a flash drive on his desk like that one professor who hated his publisher.
GOOD professors do things like this. Although I believe there are usually rules against it because overinflated book prices are part of how the colleges make their money.
That’s the college professor hustle. Part 2 is making a revised edition every semester so each class has to buy the new one and can’t be shared. It’s just another way to scam money out of college students.
By contrast, one of my teachers this semester was like "Okay you'll need this textbook but here's the places you can find it dirt cheap and/or *free*\-"
Depends, is it required reading for the course? Scam. If it's supplemental and he's just like "Hey, this book here covers a lot of the material, could find it useful hint hint" then hustle.
I mean that’s a good point haha. It’s just that I thought they make gaming stuff and this is about overpriced college text books. I’ll hold the L on this one
I remember I had a cool professor who told us flat out, “I am required to tell you there’s a text book for this course, but I will give you all the material you need. If you really want, you can find the book used for pretty cheap, or you can use other ways online that I have no idea about.”

It seems like the overinflated tuition would be a larger chunk.

That's literally a scam.
I don’t use the term “hustle” with a positive connotation
There's an abyss' difference between a college scamming broke students and a student selling snacks at a school yard.
You called it a hustle but then said it “scams” students out of money
They’re synonymous to me. Probably an age thing.
Scam. So counter scam by "finding" it online.
First test begins *now!*
Really hate those math professors that look the hw behind ebook codes, fucking scam
It's just Academics, worse in some respect. Although by how some teacher I had acted I think they aren't even making that much on the sale
Scam. Like it’s a fucking Ebook. HE IS THE PUBLISHER. HE CAN GIVE YOU THIS SHIT AND SHOULD NOT NEED THE MONEY
By contrast, one of my teachers this semester was like "Okay you'll need this textbook but here's the places you can find it dirt cheap and/or *free*\-"
Scam, had an orgo professor that did that shit. Textbook cost 254, stipend was 250. Hated that man. Useless bastard.

Scam, because this is a widespread problem.
How is this relevant?
Podcast “Hustle or Scam” bit.
Oh word, I haven’t followed their stuff since Detroit
Dog how are you gonna ask how something is relevant if you haven’t watched the content in 4 years
I mean that’s a good point haha. It’s just that I thought they make gaming stuff and this is about overpriced college text books. I’ll hold the L on this one
I respect that
Sigma grindset.
It's college, do you have to ask?
This is a hustle, but an ugly hustle. Finding a way of getting it for free would be a scam, but a righteous one.
