Original: According to the letter, a student suggests that a list for each course should be available at once. This is because students can have more time to buy cheaper books and preview on the courses earlier. The man supports this challenge. To begin with, he points out that the books in the university bookshop are pretty high. Besides, second-hand books are sold out quickly as well. So this challenge enables students to search books on their own ways. For example, they can search on the internet to save more money. Moreover, the man argues that at the beginning of the semester, students are usually too busy to look through the books. So this challenge is very beneficial for students' study.
