You write in the German book. It is a workbook with pages for writing in. They check it. It is the 2010-2011 edition. The package comes with software that you have to use to do homework, turn it in and print it out. I need to buy this book.

In another class I am indeed reading Plato and I bought the book from the bookstore. Another girl in class got it from another place and the Professor said to her that we need this specific translation.
-
I buy at the bookstore because I can use financial aid to pay
-
Workbooks are a different thing, obviously
-
Mistake was made by both of you by purchasing the book BEFORE the first class. An older version of the same guy/gal translating would be fine.
-
Um, but you can use financial aid for other, fixed prices, whereas you’d still be saving money getting it from the library/used online.
I know! Can you imagine how horrible it would be to be trapped in a mine with the wrong German software staring you in the face the whole time?
I have the Bee Gees song “Tragedy” playing in my brain as I read this thread.
And lavenderviolet has had me singing New York Mining Disaster 1941 to myself. It’s a Bee Gees thread!
I had a grad level stats class where the professor on the first day apologized for the delay the bookstore was having getting an order of our textbooks in. You see, he had ordered the edition from the 70s, and the bookstore had to collect used books from around the country. Copies were like $8 each. I loved that teacher.
HURRAY. I’m glad it worked out.
Although I must say the seriousness of the problem contrasted with the melodrama of the thread title would have made this whole thing worth it anyway.
