Frustration With Teacher and Book.

I have had a frustrating ordeal at UVU recently. It envolved one professor in particular and a specific book for the class. Alright, so anyways I signed up for this class that is required for my major, right. Well, I thought I would be a good student and get the book for the class before the semester started. I logged onto blackboard to view the class' syllabus and low and behold the teacher had not mentioned which edition of the book we needed. All that it mentioned was the title and the copyright year. I then took this information to the UVU bookstore to figure out which book I was supposed to get. So, at the bookstore they said I needed the 6th edition of this particular book (note that was also the only version that the bookstore said that they had). It was high priced at the bookstore, so I had decided to get a little bit of a better deal and buy it online. The first day of school rolled around and I was to the point in my schedule of that particular class. At the beginning of class the teacher stated that we would get extra credit if we had the book with us. I was thinking to my self, "ya I totally got this extra credit." Low and behold, she said that she did not recognize the book that I had. This is where the issue started. I then found out that we needed to have the 5th edition. This meant that the bookstore had ordered the wrong book and I had too. She said to just return the book to the bookstore and get the right edition. I had bought the book online however and therefore could not return it (I was out about $90 since I bought it online.). This particular professor had not even mentioned the edition of the book in her syllabus, and then she expected the whole class, since we had all bought the wrong edition, to get this other edition. I just find this outrageous, especially since the 5th edition even though it was out dated was $95. I could go on and on about this, but I will not. [If you new all of the details about this, you would find it quite funny. Particularly about the name of the course in which this occured.]

(THE END)
