Yes, I would call that exploitation, since we students are pretty much helpless once a professor has made the choice to utilize resources from a specific company. Our options are limited since the older editions that are hard copies were declared as obsolete and unsuitable for the present courses. I'd say that it is a mutual agreement between the professors and the corporations, since the professors do not want to grade the assignments and tests they hand out to us, and the corporations provide an escape for that with online materials, those of which require minimal inputs from the said professors to function, but would still "grade" the students.
Rave:
Finally landed a job at a hospital some 21 km from my home. The pay is minimal, but it's better than nothing at this time.
Rant:
Parents arguing all day and night now... Being the only voice of reason under this roof is painful...
