“this past spring quarter for math 60 I didn't have a book the entire quarter and I barely scraped by with a 2.0. I used the book and help of tutors in the tutoring center everyday and still did not fully understand the material as much as I wanted. If I continue this way I will surely fail math 98”

“I am afraid that if I can't/don't get this book before the college quarter starts that I will fall behind and possibly even fail the class”

The Direct Relationship Between Textbook Costs and Student Success
60%+ do not purchase textbooks at some point due to cost
35% take fewer courses due to textbook cost
31% choose not to register for a course due to textbook cost
23% regularly go without textbooks due to cost
14% have dropped a course due to textbook cost
10% have withdrawn from a course due to textbook cost

“70% of respondents had decided against buying at least one assigned textbook due to cost. While some of these students reported sharing or borrowing instead, 78% still believed they would generally do worse in class without their own copy of the required text.”

1. Cost Savings
![Page 22: The Case for Open](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c44df44a795929658b45be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example: Green River
27 sections of Math 141 each year× 30 students per section× $200 (Amazon retail of Stewart Precalc – cost of printed OER text)
$162,000 saved in one year, in one course
![Page 23: The Case for Open](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c44df44a795929658b45be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The text had a positive effect on the classroom instructional atmosphere from the very beginning. Many students came to class on the first day with a positive attitude borne of having been to the bookstore and found that their textbook would cost $20 rather than over $100, and even spending that much was optional. Moreover, the vast majority of students had the textbook in one form or another from the outset and so didn’t face the prospect of falling behind because they couldn’t get it until a financial aid check came in.

I hate this problem
Q: Bob has $10,000 invested in two accounts, one paying 4% interest and the other paying 6% interest. He earned $520 interest last year. How much does he have invested in each account?
A: Read your statements, Bob!
![Page 40: The Case for Open](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062511/54c44df44a795929658b45be/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
I don’t hate this problem
Q: Bob is retiring with $1 million. He can invest in a safe CD earning 1%, or a riskier bond account earning 4%. He wants to live on interest, and needs $30,000 a year to live on. What’s the minimum he needs to invest in the bond account?

“The student feedback I've received (to the texts I and others have used, as well as the associated WAMAP material and James Sousa videos) has been virtually 100% positive. And it's not just the low-to-nonexistent price: we've received many comments about how these books are much easier for them to read than traditional textbooks, how WAMAP is far superior to Webassign, and how helpful they find the videos.”
