24 Textbook Analysis:

Do you use a common textbook throughout a commonly numbered course?

No.

Please describe the process you use to select textbooks.

Both full-time faculty members have been at NIC for over 15 years and are comfortable with the textbooks and assigned readings used in their classes. There were more discussions in the past than currently.  When new adjunct and special appointment faculty have been brought on there is a robust discussion about the materials used by full-time faculty and suggestions are made.  After teaching at NIC for a full year, adjunct/special appointment faculty are given the ultimate decision on which textbooks to use in their own courses. Dual Enrollment instructors are required to use textbooks reviewed and assessed as appropriate by the full-time faculty teaching each specific course.
