What's the different between a course reader and textbooks?
A Course Reader contains extracts from various journals and publications that the lecturer has deemed relevant to the course, each reading would correspond to the topic of the week. All of the extracts are printed on A4 paper and bound with a basic paper cover (which tends to fray or fall off), so its best to bind them in a folder yourself. All up each of these readers will cost you approximately $15 (unless accompanied by extras like DVDs).

As such, the clear difference is that a course reader leads you through background knowledge and cases relevant to the week which you then discuss and expand upon through research whereas a textbook will teach you from A to B through to Z. From what I've seen textbooks are also for less 'talky' subjects, where you instead learn from the textbook and then gain clarification from your tutor on what you don't understand.
