  • Will be used next semester: Is this a text these students would need in the following semester/ are you teaching this course again next semester?

  • Number of copies required: How many copies do you recommend? How many students do you estimate will purchase? I.e. “50% of students”, “40 copies”

Note:

  • If you cannot find the product, click “I can’t find the product” and fill out the form. 

To create a choice of product (list of products):

12. Once saved, you can add the choices by clicking “Add a product to the list” and following the same steps as adding a single product.
