"Previously, I was 1 point short on my first attempt at the ACT. I prepared with another book. I decided to take a few practice tests in this book a week before testing, and I improved my score by 3 points (2 more points then what I needed). Highly recommend!"
"My son is homeschooled so he doesn't have a lot of experience taking timed tests. This book was helpful in getting him used to the process and understanding how to work with timed tests and find the strategy that worked for him. The book also had some great tips in it as well. Would definitely recommend as a tool to help with ACT prep."
Essentially, a loose leaf textbook is a stack of paper with three punched holes that is ready for binding. It does not have any cover, and the pages are neither glued nor stitched. Loose leaf textbooks are also known as a la Carte or binder-ready editions.

The following information might be extremely useful for students willing to get back some money they have spent on their college textbooks. You probably already know that many textbooks are currently sold in a loose leaf, or "binder ready" format (which is also sometimes called a la Carte since they may be printed on demand by the publisher).
Whether you hire an editor or not, thoughtful third-party feedback is invaluable. So throughout the editing process (most authors go through multiple rounds of revisions), share your manuscript with trusted collaborators to see what they think.
Great information here. I really appreciate these tips on self-publishing. I have completed 13 short stories and am currently writing my 14th, with a 15th on the horizon with an idea. When they're all finished I hope to self publish. Thanks to your suggestions, I will go back to my first story and begin editing once again. Since my book will be a compilation of 15 short stories, I don't have a title for the book as yet. Perhaps it will be the title of one of the stories...or something else. My grandson is a pretty good artist/cartoonist and I might call upon him to design the jacket cover. Once again, thanks for all your help, advice and suggestions.
Panther Book Pack provides all students with equitable access to course materials on or before the first day of class, which will ultimately improve their academic success. Additionally, by participating in the Panther Book Pack, students will save time and money each term.
Yes, you have until three days after add/drop for the given session, as outlined in the Academic Calendar to opt-out of the program, even if you already picked up or received your course materials. However, you will have to return your course materials to Barnes & Noble at the time you opt out, or no later than the deadline provided by Barnes & Noble to you via email. If you do not return your course materials, the charges for the Panther Book Pack will go back on your student account.
Your order cannot be processed until your course materials are verified. You will receive an email beginning 30 days prior to the first day of class to verify your course materials for each term. If you have already verified your order, call or email the bookstore at book...@fiu.edu and give them your order number so they can check on the status of your order.
For the lowest institutional per-credit flat rate, all undergraduate courses must participate in the program. Courses with no required course materials, or course materials that are low- or no-cost to you, will all be part of the Panther Book Pack program and you will be charged the flat rate of $20 per credit hour. By the same token, for courses with very expensive materials or multiple required materials you will also only be charged the flat rate of $20 per credit hour. Under this subscription model, this should balance out and ultimately pass on significant savings to you across multiple courses. However, if the $20 flat rate is not the most affordable option when looking at your total cost for the term, you may opt out of the Panther Book Pack program for that term but will be responsible for obtaining the required course materials on your own.
The Panther Book Pack charge will be included on your FIU student account along with other charges such as tuition and fees. This allows you to use financial aid, scholarships, etc. to pay for your course materials.
There may be additional costs incurred when verifying your purchase with Barnes & Noble that are required to be paid out of pocket as follows. Upon verifying your order, if you add recommended textbooks, extra supplies, materials or merchandise, you will be required to pay the bookstore with a debit card, credit card, or your FIU OneCard for those additional items. If you choose to have your materials shipped upon verifying your order, an additional shipping charge will be added.
If you have a Panther Book Pack charge on your account and you opted-out of the program by the deadline for that term, you may email the bookstore at book...@fiu.edu. The bookstore will work with FIU to resolve the issue and will communicate with you regarding a solution.
Some digital materials will be accessible with a physical access code that you will receive with your other materials as part of the Panther Book Pack. Follow the instructions on the access code card.
Your access to the digital materials will be revoked on the opt-out deadline. If you need to gain access to the digital materials again after the opt-out deadline and after the access was revoked, you may purchase the digital materials from the bookstore at the regular retail price. Once you have purchased the materials you can regain access with the physical or digital access code provided with your purchase. Any work completed prior to the access being revoked will still be there when you regain access.
If you are eligible for the financial aid advance after covering the cost of tuition, fees and the Panther Book Pack charge on your FIU student account, you may still want to take advantage of the advance for the purchase of other materials. The financial aid advance may be used to purchase materials and supplies via the FIU OneCard at Barnes & Noble, Panther Tech and Ricoh. You may want to purchase other school supplies, devices, or tech supplies with the advance funds.
Coordinate the purchase of course materials directly with the bookstore. Charges for the purchase of a textbook or digital version rented through the Panther Book Pack are not transferred to your FIU student account.
If you are a dual enrollment student taking courses at your high school, your course does not qualify for the Panther Book Pack. You are responsible for coordinating your course materials with your high school dual enrollment administrator. If you are a dual enrollment student taking classes online or at an FIU campus, you are automatically enrolled in the Panther Book Pack and should verify your course materials and select a fulfillment method when you receive the verification email from Barnes & Noble.
We are committed to providing accessible material and the local FIU bookstore team can help with any special requests. Additionally, students may visit theDisability Resource Center (DRC) webpage. There you will find information on DRC services, including the procedure to request accessible format textbooks.
OneStop provides assistance with transcripts, enrollment verifications, adding and dropping courses, establishing residency, general financial aid questions, student case resolution and any other enrollment related questions.
Creative Commons has released their certificate materials for those who want to work through them independently. Many of the links in the previous chapters have taken readers to the online coursebook at this site. The American Library Association in partnership with Creative Commons has published a print copy available for purchase at the ALA bookstore here or for free PDF download here.
Many institutions with outstanding OER programs have published resources about Creative Commons licenses, as well. Billy Meinke with the University of Hawaii has included several chapters (which include discussion of public domain) in the UH OER Training textbook. BC Campus includes discussion of Creative Commons licenses in their Faculty OER Toolkit, and the Rebus Community has included a succinct explanation in Modifying an Open Textbook: What You Need to Know.
Print or digital format is determined based on the adopted material for the specific course prior to the start of class. As a student, if you have a preferred format (print or digital) for textbooks, you should first check with your faculty member to see what format has been chosen for the course.
