August 2022 Textbook Hero - Krista Huppert
Name: Krista Huppert What are some of the classes you teach? Basic Skills, Pharmacology, and Clinical How long have you been with CVTC? 4.5 years How long have you been using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? 2 years What is your favorite part of using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? The absolute best part is the money that students are saving! Also, I can use any of the textbooks across the first-semester curriculum to tie concepts from all the courses together. I use the interactive sections of chapters in clinical to bring theory into practice and apply those to what students are experiencing in a real-world setting. I only need a device to access and do not need to haul three textbooks along. Any estimated student cost savings from using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? $300 for two courses.
