Students at Tulsa Community College can now get free textbooks online for some classes. This can save students several hundred dollars a semester. Biology Professor Jennifer Kneafsey has 24 years in the classroom and knows a thing or two about her students. “I used the traditional publisher’s books for many, many years, but I could see what a burden it was for my students to come up with the 200 or so dollars,” she said. So, after watching that struggle, she jumped at a new option. Kneafsey said, “When the students access the textbook online, it’s completely free.” The textbooks are from an online publisher named OpenStax.
