1. After surveying my ten people, I have come to the conclusion that most people in a college atmosphere read an average of five books in a period of six months. These people are always around books and studying so they read quite frequently. For some of the people that I polled, they read one book if any in a span of six months. I find this alarming for a student in college because even if they only read books that are forced upon them to complete a class, they are still bound to come across a couple books that they somewhat enjoyed. Most people that I polled only read books that were fictional. This did not surprise me because the most enjoyable books for people are ones that are made up.
2. I would prefer to use regular textbooks in class because they are more easily accessible. At times, the student may not have their computer or the internet handy so they would not be able to read the text, whereas a student can always read the text from an actual book. I cannot highlight or write notes in electronic textbooks which really hinders my studying techniques. Also, the mere fact that a textbook is actually tangible compared to an online textbook makes it so much more personal and reliable. It is also something that I can always refer back to and keep forever. I would prefer to have actual books to read leisurely. I would not enjoy an online book because it would strain my eyes to read for such great lengths. I also would not be able to take it with me wherever I went and so it would probably take me longer to actually complete the book
