>>11298753>just pages in a binderThose are called "readers", there typically bound by the school bookstore.
"readers" are the equivalent of all the materials a teacher would normall pass out in class for the whole semester (like articles and power point slides).
Professors usually do not receive any money from "readers", it is a service provided to professor by the bookstore so that professors are not running several hundred copies off of pages every other day in the department office.
Im guessing it was like $30 dollars or something
