There is no "right to have a textbook". Students do have a right to pick a different professor, or a different major, if they want. You should assume that the lack of a textbook for the course means that the instructor has evaluated existing texts as not appropriate.

In a technical course, our professor refused to introduce any textbook. He officially stated (included in the course syllabus) that all the course content will be discussed in the class, and cover all questions in the final exam.
I think this is a trick to bring the students to the class instead of relying on self-study.
I do not have problem with this method, as I regularly attend the class, but it would be easier to have a textbook.
My question: can a professor do this? Isn't it the essential right of students to have appropriate textbooks for each course?
