AUSU Student Forums
Hot Ask AUSU discussion on “Course tuition fee & e-text.” AU Student, Karen: “It doesn’t make much sense to me that AU is saving cost by not having to purchase and ship text books and the student is being charged the same and more … if they want a print.”
AUSU’s Executive Director replied: “AU has stopped moving any new courses into the e-text program while they review student concerns and consider some changes. AUSU has been advocating very heavily for students to have a choice of materials format and based on recent discussions, AU is taking this seriously.”
Other topics include BMgmt, motivation, assignment uploads in RTF format, and course chat on ADMN 232/3, BIOL 235, and ENGL 353.
