They started this back around 2020. There is quite a few courses at TESU that require no books. I took Introduction to Critical Reasoning (PHI-1300).

Which was your experience with the ZTC course? Did the course had really everything you need?
There was a pdf of the book or was more an interactive information system?

I've taken 5 courses at TESU and only one required me to purchase a textbook. All the rest provided materials online. Some in the form of online textbooks, some could be YouTube videos (such as Crash Course), online articles, etc. The curriculum is based on these online resources, so yes, they provide everything you need to pass the class.

The worst was back when you had to rent the crappy VHS tapes for some of the courses.
