Default Re: Using photocopied materials in the classroom?

I'm in Italy where university students are not encouraged as such to copy entire course books, but they are pointed in the direction of the nearest photocopy shop!
I get about half the class turn up with photocopied books, most of which have all the answers written in. After a year of banging my head on the desk in despair along with talking to several brick walls, ie the administration, I gave up getting worked up about it.
I even spoke to the publisher's rep about it. I was told that half was actually quite good, in most cases it was nearer two thirds.
