    I had this one professor I was really grateful for though. He was a big open-source guy

    I had the bizzaro version of this guy in college once. He sold his own 150$ “textbook” that you had to purchase from a copy shop next to campus. It was just a bunch of sections of other text books that were clearly copied and put together in a tabbed paper folder by the little printing shop.

    Was also the same guy that wouldn’t accept assignments unless you turned them in a specific blue folder, which you could conveniently buy from the same copy shop for 5$ a piece.

    Still kinda pissed about it like 15 years later, but at least now I can kinda appreciate the hustle that dude had going.

      Would have been interesting for the entire class to buy one, take it to another copy shop, and all split the entire cost.

      Then, next year, hang out outside the classroom and offer to sell it to people for $20-$50.

      Blue folder would be a little tougher….

        Break into his home or office the night you submit the assignment and steal all the folders. Steal all from the print shop too. Demand them back the next day or $5 a piece.
