Just think of it this way: If you were taking a face-to-face class at a brick and mortar college that met on Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon, you would have to purchase the book, study according to the syllabus or curriculum requirements, and be prepared to test on scheduled dates. Since you meet only once a week for a few hours, many of which will be used for testing, you will likely not get much more from the instructor than a few quick outlines or pin-point instruction on areas that he/she might know are common areas that require clarification. The rest will be up to you, or you will have to come in prepared with questions for them to clarify. That means you need the textbook in order to study and do your part of this process.

I would immagine that SL really isn't much different.

I'm always amazed when students ask if they can get through a course without buying the textbook. I actually was in a face-to-face Intermediate Algebra course recently and, sure 'nuf, there were at least 3 who thought they could do it without a textbook. They were overwhelmed and dropped out before long. Anyway, 'nuf said.
