I would not have bought the text book for this course because it's an elective. I would have possibly walked away with a C, now I might actually get an A-
It is easily accessible and convenient. Material is easy to understand and follow
I personally really like the convenience of having the complete set of chapters on my computer and even accessible from my phone if I need it. I like that I don't have to lug around another text book
It's free and it's a great money saver
