"The vast majority of college instructors -- 84 percent -- believe students absolutely need a textbook to complete their courses, according to a Zogby International survey of 1,029 U.S. college faculty released last week."
"'The results underscore the critical role that updated textbooks and sophisticated learning tools play in college students' success,' Ms. Schroeder said. Eighty percent of survey respondents say it is important for textbook materials to be as current as possible. In addition, three-fourths of instructors polled either require or recommend the use of supplementary materials in addition to textbooks. In fact, the longer a professor's tenure, the more likely he or she is to require other sources: 49 percent of those with 26 or more years of experience say they require supplements."
