Do professors in large, nameless public universities purposefully choose shitty textbooks for their courses?

Why do they decide to assign readings from a shitty generic book published by Cengage Learning©™ for a real analysis class, when every other school assigns actually good books like Rudin or Apostol? Or a computer science professor assigning "C++ Programming for Literal Retards" instead of K&R? There surely must be a motive. And shitty students can't be an excuse. Brainlets shouldn't even be allowed in college in the first place. If they can't get through a course that uses a REAL textbook, then they should drop out.

>the brainlet spends money on books

I've studied for four years and I didn't buy a single damn textbook. Lecture notes on the Internet always sufficed.

Because they know that 99% of their students need "Topic for retarded monkeys" or they wouldn't be at their shitty university

But yes, Profs got cut/gifts for choosing those texts.

You're not in MIT. Partly your fault.

This should be the standard, you fucking mongol. If you don't have the capability to go to an MIT-tier school, you should be working as a plumber or some shit.

In the case of my college they choose some books because the professors contributed to them and they get a nice fat royalties check for every dumbass that buys them.

I pay for the lectures so I'll go to them. If you need the book to learn you are a brainlet.
