Name: Marian Smith What are some of the classes you teach? Online Success Strategies, Editing & Proofreading, and Information Design How long have you been with CVTC? 20 years How long have you been using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? At least the past five years. What is your favorite part of using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? Using low-cost and no-cost textbooks/resources helps students save so much money. Any estimated student cost savings from using low-cost and/or no-cost textbooks? Thousands of dollars over the past few years. Fun fact: Each semester, I teach classes that are required for students in three different programs. I can see how the use of affordable/free resources has a direct impact on students' success.
