$575,000 this semester and next semester through TCC’s par
tKipatHHi tor the second year in OpenStax
Open Stax is an initiative to boost the use of free online or
low cost textbooks
This fall more than 50 TOC faculty adopted OpenStax text-
books saving roughly 2.500 students from having to buy an
expensive textbook Students can use the free online version. If
they want to purchase a textbook, the OpenStax option is con-
siderably cheaper
For example, the Human Physiology book through a tradi-
tional publisher is $170 as compared to $57 for OpenStax.
The initiative to help Tulsa Community College students
w ith the cost of textbooks expands this semester to reach an esti-
mated 2.500 students. TCC partnered with OpenStax. a Rice
University-based nonprofit publisher, in the summer of 2016 to
boost the use of free online and low cost textbooks across TCC
courses.
In one year, the partnership has grown to include more than
50 TCC faculty and more than 100 sections of general education
courses including Psychology and General Biology. Based on
fall 2017 projections. TCC's anticipates more than 5 500 stu-
dents a year will enroll in courses that use a free online or
reduced cost textbook saving them $575,000 each year.
"The partnership with OpenStax means teal savings to our
students and helps make college more affordable by reducing
the financial burden assoc idled with textbooks.' TCC President
and CEO Leigh B Goodson. Ph.D said
OpenStax uses open educational resources to provide high
quality, peer-reviewed textbooks This past summer. TCC
Biologv prolessor Dusit Sloan used OpenStax for her Human
Physiology classes and saw a tremendous benefit for her stu-
dents
***| hase students that are single parents and students that are
working full time jobs OpenStax provides a valuable resource
for both the student and the instructor at an invaluable price -
either tree online or a low cost book." said Sloan For example,
the Human Physiology book through a traditional publisher cost
$170 compared to $57 for the OpenStax book.
TCC was selected as one of 11 colleges in 2016 to participate
in the OpenStax Institutional Partnership Program. The goal of
the partnership is to provide support and help increase the use of
OpenStax textbooks or other open educational resources.
Jennifer Kneafsey. associate professor of biology at TCC is the
coordinator of TCC’s participation in the OpenStax partnership.
"We are really proud of the fact that every section of
Chemistry I and Engineering Physics I and II at TCC is using an
OpenStax book, which means some of the most expensive text-
books are now available for free online or a reduced cost." said
Kneafsey "Plus we have a number of sections of Physiology
and Biology for Majors using an OpenStax book as well.'
As TCC enters the second year in the partnership. Kneafsey
will work to support faculty currently using OpenStax materials
and continue to expand the use of OpenStax textbooks with a
focus on business and social science disciplines.

fortable using dating sites because I have

those sites, when would be the right time to
reveal my problem'.’ After we have gotten to
know each other'.’ Or should I be up Iron!

DEAR UNSURE: Herpes is an infection, not a scarlet let- you will check it out
ter. Many people carry the virus, and a surprising number of
them are not aware they have it and can infect others In fact,
according to the American Sexual Health Association, one in
six individuals in the United States between the
ages of 14 and 44 has genital herpes (HSV-2).
Because you are hesitant about when to
reveal your status, please visit the ASHA web-
site (ashasexualhealth.org). You will find it
informative. It includes a section on relation-
ships. suggestions about when to tell someone,
how to talk to a partner, reactions to expect, etc
Another website that has been mentioned in
my column before is H-Date.com. It offers a
tree dating service through which thousands of
men and women meet Many nice, eligible people — people
just like you - have herpes and live full, happy lives. I hope

DEAR ABBY: I recently moved to a new area of my state
I like the environment, the cost of living, etc., but there's one
problem I don't know how to address. The people here share
far loo much information with strangers in everyday conver-
sation. I think there should he some boundaries and limits on
what is said in public.
While I was waiting to ask a salesclerk a question, the per-
son ahead of me in line described her entire medical history
in detail She went on and on and tin There are times I can't
get through a store without someone asking me question after
question They just look for that opening and start throwing
questions al me! I believe in being polite, so I have reached
the point of just nt Hiding my head or responding with a yes or
no most of the time It's really off-putting. A lot of these peo-
ple need to back off - NEEDS BOUNDARIES IN THE
SOUTH
DEAR NEEDS BOUNDARIES: Many people ask ques-
tions as a way to start a conversation because they are inter-
ested in you or are lonely. Because you consider their ques-
tions invasive and you need boundaries, you will have to set
them. A way to do that would he to tell the questioner that the
query is a personal one. and you prefer not to share that kind
of information with strangers.
