Cabedgrin says: “Like others have noticed, this is an excellent use of consumer data. Unfortunately other places (such as WalMart, holding one of the worlds largest consumer tracking databases in the world) do not utilize this feature, at all.

Christovir says: “A good teacher/professor can make an excellent course without the need for any textbooks. I always try to use as many peer-reviewed journal articles and self-made resources for students as possible.
