Turn The Page Review

Turn the Page, i think the idea for this project had a lot of really really great potential.

First the issue with the college textbooks. while yes we as college students are getting robbed blind on text books i really do not know how practical this idea would be by copyright alone. Personally I believe the problem is with the colleges/professors themselves. At the end of the day the professors are the ones that are picking what books they use for their classes. Having gone to a college that actually made special edition textbooks for the school only i think actually being able to get all the books that a student needs would be really hard. Most if not almost all colleges use different textbooks for each class and most are subject to change from year to year. That being said i think this would be something to maybe take off that part of the website.

Secondly, the DACA issue while yes it is something that truly does need to be talked about i think the information available on this issue is not sufficient enough to be included in the website. I'm not trying to say its not an important issue for lots of people but having talked first hand to relatives and friends that are affected by DACA being resended I think the website including this issue itself is not the best idea given that there is literally nothing that can be done for them at the moment. After their DACA expires they are just left in limbo and i think awareness is important but  that doesn't stop the issue of the people that have DACA not being able to do anything once their DACA expires. Even the scholarships and financial aid would not be of use to them.

The tutors for each section and the ASL section of the website is a really great idea. I personally know people that would really benefit from this even not being in school so this would be something really great to have someone actually make.
