27、rice from $ 80 to $ 155 per coursegive students online access to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities th

28、ey partner with, represent the future of the industry.C) But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念) of the textbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buy second-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the

29、digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D) When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断), a new way to lock students around this system, said Ethan Senack, the higher education advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed

30、News. Rather than $250 (for a print textbook) youre paying $ 120, said Senack. But because its all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out.E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old stu

31、dent at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma when she first started college in 2015pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework.

She knew that

33、 her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. Its a balancing act, she said. Can I really afford these access codes now? She didnt hand in her first two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G) The access codes may be another financial headache for st

34、udents, but for textbook businesses, theyre the future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% of its $ 140 million revenue in 2015 was derived from di

35、gital products.H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that digital materials are less expensive and a good investment that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed

36、 textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didnt respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is now over.I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students

37、. These digital products arent just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features, David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News.

I try to make things as inexpensive as possible, said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum. The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like Im giving

40、up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most.K) A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends $ 500-$ 600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didnt require students to buy a textbook, j

41、ust an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent $ 900 on access codes to books and programs. Thats two months of rent, she said. You cant sell any of it back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $ 30 - $ 50 and that helps to pay for your new semesters books. With an

42、access code, youre out of that money. L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that its ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these access codes to do our homework. Many of the access codes hes pur

43、chased have been required simply to complete homework or quizzes. Often its only 10% of your grade in class. he said.
