"Clearly, the issue of whether to use a textbook is complex,and it is dependent upon course and curricular goals. Students(and colleagues) expect a textbook; yet often, the textbookis not used, except as a reference. Most textbooks are not writtenwith current evidence about best teaching and learning practicesin mind, so they may be difficult to integrate into the designand presentation of a course that is based on this evidence.Because many instructors provide detailed online or downloadablenotes, it would be a worthwhile exercise to consider whethera textbook is required, or whether other materials could serveits purpose. In the end, the result may be a more thoughtfulapproach to what is taught, how it is taught, and how studentmastery is assessed."
