    For those of you that have yet to embark on your secondary education, this is how you know you’ve got a champ of a professor

      Oh no, it also looks like I’ve spilled https://www.smartquantai.com/ over there. What a disaster, don’t look at that mutual aid community for hard to find papers; it’s full of communists and anarchists. Next thing you know, they will be screaming Kropotkin quotes… Cannot have that kind of radical behaviour in a science community after all.

      One of my professors wrote the textbook we were using. Before the first day of class, he sent out a greeting email. Attached to that email was a .PDF of the textbook. Hell yeah.

        That’s really rare. Back when I was in school the professor who taught the class and wrote the book would, every year, change enough of it to sell a new addition. Either move the sections around or change the problems.

        Just so he could make more money.

        It was a calculus class.

        Fuck him.

        Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol

    This is horrible. I’m going to download a bunch of these PDFs so that there are less copies available for other dishonest people to download.

    I’m doing my part!

      You can also ask a librarian for help. We like finding things and might be able to get a copy through interlibrary loan or other connections. We also like girl scout cookies, especially the ones with coconut.

    I’ll just recommend Anna’s archive… And we all know which Anna I’m talking about (if not, than google and you shall see)

      No, piracy is bad you see. This isn’t advocating piracy, the professor warned them about accessing the sites.
