Hah, that's not the norm? In my country it was. To be fair, the professors were required to give the students learning material in our native language and while some fields do contain other experts, the software field is different, so there was one book by that professor and that was it.

Most professors didn't mind how you got the material. But one of them... geez, every year he changed the content slightly and if you didn't have the latest one, he would write the test so that you would barely pass. The irony is that his lectures were really good and engaging but he really was a shitty person.
