Go to class and you pass. I never needed the books and bought only the ones with required labs/homework sections. Also, quite a few of my professors wrote their own books and would provide them to needy students gratis.

Yes, but apparently the wrong subreddit. Seems to be people who love books hate humor. I was bagging on my Alma Matter for being “generous” in their grading. As I experienced both in their online as well as on campus coursework. I really don’t understand how such a group of well read individuals are so blind that they couldn’t parse the intention, the joke and the sincerity of my final statement of the original comment. It seems to me as if pretentiousness is at play more so than empathy. Of course this is about prison, but WVU is bound, by law and ethics, to treat all students equally. I’m very happy we are able to have a meaningful impact on these individuals lives. But let’s face it, WVU isn’t Ivy League; thus the “books aren’t needed” joke.
