Collegeboard a monopoly?

Well I think it's all marketing.  College Board and Petersen's Guide, they collect a lot of data on students, tests, schools and then they package and resell all that information back to others--like the students buy test guides and info on the schools, the schools buy addresses of students who did well on the tests, the tests get money from the students taking the "required" exam.  I think it's all a scam but schools seem to think they need some external standard of measure for a student and maybe they are right, who knows?

You can put yourself is the 'admin' of the computer, and your daugthers are just user.\nAlso, even if you don't let them at home, they can still do it in school.\nSo may be you can think of some other method?

I imagine there are places to do it, however they are all illegal, as Excel is a licensed software product made by Microsoft.  If you are a college student, they offer a special version at around $20 on campuses...

Yes.\nBut unjustifiably the colleges from Cambridge and Oxford are still allowed to enter in their own right so the competition is skewed in their favour.

Monopoly was created before the Great Depression...but to answer your question, I don't know that the value would be different today. It is a board game, and there can only be so much money in the game.

You're marketing to the wrong institutions. You need to approach a text book publisher with your book. Good luck!

I thought that Wipro is a Company but not a Educational Institute. So the short answer is No for offering undergraduate course.

Probably not, because Colleges are set up to make $ just like every other business.

I think it's more of a threat if it is something that would be on your record that would be released to the college. Cheating/plagiarizing has become a huge problem in all universities that I think schools are taking it a bit more seriously nowadays.  However, it does not ruin changes of ever getting into college, just maybe to some more exclusive schools.

First, the actual purpose of anti-monopoly laws is to keep enough companies in each industry that no one player can artificially inflate prices or limit available offerings.  It is not to create opportunities for the little guys per se.\nSecondly, AT&T once owned the entity now known as BellSouth (as well as the current Verizon, SBC, and every other "Baby Bell"), but was forced to break them off as a result of legislation passed in 1983 and 1984.  In the time since then, a series of bad business decisions and a changing marketplace have greatly diminished what was once one of the largest and most important companies in the world, causing it to no longer be the monopolistic threat in any of the industries it serves.  It can probably buy BellSouth because it is now no longer a serious player in most of the areas that BellSouth services.\nAnd the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice (Antitrust Division), the Consumer's Union and other related groups, and the attorneys general of several large states whose populations may be adversely affected by such a merger are watching.  You can take my word for that!

It depends on the school.  Many schools especially ones with strong engineering/CS departments have relationships with Microsoft.  I got XP for $12 at my school

I second the two-at-most answer as a rule of thumb - and one that's true at most colleges of any sort. That said, do check with Your Particular Community College: some schools have their own way of going about things.

Day by day attraction towards professional courses are increasing.  Likewise the fee structure of the colleges are also in a steep increasing trend.  I think studying thro' colleges will disappear in the next ten years as computer and net educations are growing fastly.
