<p>Anyone signed up for this class?
One of our textbooks is “Physics Binder ready w/ Weabassign Cards”. It costs $142 at the bookstore, and I couldn’t find it anywhere else.
What is this thing? and why is it so expensive? Are there any other (cheaper) options to get it besides the campus bookstore?</p>
<p>It’s like an unbound textbook you need to stick in a binder. They say it saves money, but really it prevents you from selling it back or buying used :. Part of the price is the online “web assign” access which is necessary for submission of homework.</p>
<p>To save money I’d recommend just buying the web assign codes. You should be able to do this in the bookstore, or try here: [WebAssign</a> - Ordering Access Codes](<a href=“WebAssign - Not found, error 404”>WebAssign - Not found, error 404)</p>
<p>I believe (?) it also gives you access to the textbook online. Even if it doesn’t, I didn’t really use the textbook: I attended class and looked up physics tutorials online for things I didn’t understand. Some people might want to do the practice Q’s though.</p>
<p>You use the same textbook for the entire sequence at least, and it comes with 3 access codes, so that price is split over 2-3 quarters if that’s any consolidation.</p>
<p>Math 148 book is similar and you basically have to order it through the OSU bookstore. I emailed to math dept to make sure of that. You might want to contact the Physics dept directly to double check.</p>
<p>kelseyg thanks so much for taking the time to detail that. I wish the bookstore had that kind of information online. I was really confused by the ISBN and info they posted for Math 148.</p>
