Some teachers actually try to help out and will use books that are as cheap as possible for students. I had a history teacher that put together his own book for the class, it was thin and paperback and it cost like 20 bucks. But then there are some teachers that just don't care. One class I was trying to get into, the book was almost $300, it came out to like 270 something..That was ridiculous, I was actually happy I didn't get in because I was able to return the book.
What makes me mad is that I spend damn near $200 on one book and then I try selling it back and I am lucky to get $20 back.
