Yesterday I was reading through my son's university textbook, and saw this part about comics. Pretty cool that comics are featured to Master classes these days! 

 

 

I wanted to guess a sociology course but then I zoomed in

Business Administration?

From the evidence I've seen, 5th graders smarter than most Ivy leaguers.  
Ask a random ivy leaguer some question like 'what were the 2 sides in the civil war' and you'll get something like 'germany and japan'.  There's a guy that does youtube videos.
Not talking abt OP's son who I'm sure is smart as a whip like his dad!  I'm sure he shakes his head too at some of his classmates.

Okay so first graders are CGC

Second graders are CBCS

But what are fifth graders?

Clearly, "most Ivy" Leaguers" did not attend Princeton.

You can find innumerable stories abt how several here unnamed Ivy League Universities have really become somewhat of a joke but not Princeton.

Yes, MBA

Reading this, I was thinking how pleased I am about book development. Now, we have the possibility to switch to ebooks in order to make our life more comfortable. When I was a bit younger, I preferred buying or renting books. I loved the essence of the new volume. Still, it was so hard carrying them to the university. Using mytextbooks.org made my life way more manageable. I don't carry heavy books now, and I don't waste time going to the library. I really enjoy reading this way and recommend this to everyone.

Cool to see that. Edit for next release: 1st Batman origin is listed as Batman #47; that may be the first "detailed" origin, but the first origin is in Tec 33 (I didn't check other info closely).

Yeah, there's an argument for that.

Interesting stuff!  Congrats on your son's accomplishments.

I suspected that textbook can be related to economy or marketing.  The top of the page said Determinants of an export price. Looked up under that line and found the definition:

Concept of Price of a Product – Defined:

In a modern money using economy, price refers to the exchange value of a commodity or service, in terms of money

 

Nice

My kids dont make fun of my comics anymore where they saw their mutual funds for college and where the money came from.
Amazing how the viewpoint changes. 

 

Yeah, but they also stop being “fun” from the new generation’s POV when it’s dad’s dusty old stuff that they read about it in a textbook! 
 

Monetary value may get “respect” but it won’t create excitement.

Easy regarding the civil war, everybody knows it was the Cavaliers v the Roundheads….

True!

I would say the author is a comic collector. Also any parents may want to consider a more hands on approach for education if they don't already. Should you have to attend an ivy league school to learn this concept? Seems like this should be taught in highschool.
