so ive had what i believe to be a great idea i just dont know if its worth the effort. thats what i need you guys for...
basically im about to buy a .pdf copy of an instructors solutions manual for a college algebra book. the thing is going to cost me like $30, which sucks. the actual printed copy they sell to the instructors costs like $80 online off of amazon. the .pdf solutions manual i buy for my engineering classes cost me like $5, so i never care about dishing out the cash and then sharing it with my study partners for free. but its a bit different for this college algebra one since its ing $30.
so what i was thinking of was buying it, burning it onto numerous cdrs, then going to class and selling them for $5 a pop to anyone that wants one in class. i was gonna make a little roundtrip to all of fiu's college algebra classes and just tell everyone right before the professor arrives. lets hope i dont get caught either.
now itd be a little time consuming and maybe not worth it, but i see the possibility of success. i mean i know if i was in a class and someone offered me the entire instructors solutions manual id jump on it in a second. and most people probably dont even know where to find such a thing in the first place.
theoretically i could continue to do this every semester until they change the book edition too. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
so should i do it?
ima post this in the cor too, but i wanted some flta input too, considering the fact that it may not be as stupid. |

| As long as you don't get caught. i think u could make a decent dime off of it. I hated that class to death so i'm sure there's gonna be lots of people desperate and willing. |

really? you shoulda asked for help. i passed it with an A in 2001. since then ive taken every math class i can think of taking.
college algebra
trigonometry
pre-calculus
calculus 1
calculus 2
calculus 3
linear algebra
differential equations
engineering math 1
signals and systems
intro to probabily (okay, not really a math class, but still)
math is the bomb! and it all starts with simple algebra. calculus can be ing hard though!
i just realized something...... being an engineer suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks! :(
i have 4 exams in 8 days starting on wednesday. :nervous: |

I say do it, those reffs at FIU will buy it in a heart beat...plus you can come up pretty nice.
But like Richard said, be careful. |

yea thats the key. thats why i gotta go in before the class starts, and out before the professor shows up. in and out.
but i think i can pull it off. the first class im doing it in is karens class and ima make her be the first one thats like "wait, its the WHOLE solutions manual?" then ill be like "yea, everything" then she'll be like "okay, gimme, $5 right? done."
its PERFECT! :toothless |
