The Hatchet’s editorial board calls for the inclusion of a book list in the class registration process.
When students sign up for classes, as they will in the next few weeks, it is vitally important that they understand their potential class requirements. For years, GW students have complained about a lack of available information on courses and necessary materials that go with them. Ideally, there should be a syllabus accessible online for every class during registration, but at the very least, the University should require that a list of all required textbooks be posted.
This is exactly the kind of benefit that I forsaw in my opinion piece about making Blackboard mandatory. There is simply no valid reason not to make this proposal a reality.
