Fab, you nut. The textbook committee gets all the free swag! I got a coffee cup once. And a pen. And a fabric tote. And a coffee cup. And I get visits, too. Nice long visits from book reps who mispronounce my name and try to get me to adopt books that are woefully wrong. And I got a coffee cup once. And a pen. And a fabric tote.
Hey, here's a usic video from the late great Bobby Hate.
Tell the textbook reps you're going all in for Open Educational Resources. That'll flummox them, and the OER folks even have some swag (seen at a recent gathering: a door hanger that says "come on in; we're open." Hey, at least it's no worse than for-profit publisher swag).
I try to get my chair to be the intermediary with the book reps. If they track me down, I suddenly have an unscheduled class about to begin. Otherwise, I like textbook selection.

ReplyDeleteOne time I told a rep I had quit my job just that morning and wouldn't be teaching there anymore.
DeleteIt was a grand scheme until she came around the next semester and my fat ass was still there.
