Rasmussen Colleges Give Students a Chance to Keep Our Books.

I much prefer physical books to eBook, even more so than the eBooks Rasmussen uses. It makes it worse that these eBooks are just rentals on a website. Many books, especially for multi-part courses and career related texts, are needed beyond just the quarter that the course is in. Forcing eBooks on the students and now having to pay extra to get a physical book is poor practice.

I do not like ebooks at all and find it impossible to use them. I also get a headache reading many pages on line. I struggle to understand the info while trading a n ebook. It is better for me to have a physical textbook.

Really need physical books option that doesn't cost the student more.

I do not like that they are taking away the option for physical texts. I like referring back to some books for other classes. If they are taking away our options they should certainly drop prices.

I need physical books as I cannot read with artificial lighting plus what happens when the power goes out? This has not been thought well. No e-books we need them for future studies and reference material through out other courses.

No to etextbook!

In I.T. industry, we re-use our texbooks for the industry. Doesn't make sense to have etext when we loose access to those books after course is over;moreover, it we pay a book materials fee and the that fee hasn't even gone down.

I do read ebooks but I prefer text books for my core classes.

I need actual text books, I cant sit in front of a computer hours on end

I have 2 kids and need to take my books with me and use them at times when I don't have access to a computer. I also get headaches sitting in front of a computer for hours while I read the 4-5 books I have (depending on how many classes I'm taking at the time).

Texts are needed for future reference, for studying for boards, and are more portable and excessible than ebooks. The way ebooks are currently set up is the student still pays for them but only gets to keep the ebook for limited time like a rental not a purchase. Most schools that have ebooks provide a kindle device and allow students to keep these ebooks for life.

K" your words CHOICE......

I want textbooks

I want textbooks

I had an ebook and I had to print it out every week to be able to read it whne I was not on campus. Let me decied which way I want to absorbe my data. My eyes are fried by the end of my school work day with the electronic glare and to be able to read from an acctual book helps me break up the eye strain.

Please keep the opion open for textbooks.

Keep physical books! Why are we paying 150.00 a class for materials if we wont even receive the physical book? Etextbooks are rentals that we cannot even keep for future reference. Etextbooks cause strain to the eyes and are difficult to study with. They impede my learning experience.

We should be allowed the choice. I don't want to have to print out my own book. I am not always able to use my computer. I can take my book everywhere. If this is the case, I think Rasmussen should supply everyone with kindles or iPads with the ebooks for the same price that we pay for our books now.

Keep the print option!

I get headaches from working on discussion questions for too long at one time I could not imagine the headache I would get if I had to read my text books on the computer as well. Please keep at least an option for physical books. I understand that the times have changed and many people are liking the e-books, but I am one who can not sit and look at the computer for hours on end trying to do the homework for classes.
