Textbook / Connect Information (2013)

Please note: In Fall 2015 we will use the 3rd edition of the Bowerman, et al., text. (The 2nd edition is out of print.)

Options for the purchase of the textbook

1. You can buy the hardcover textbook which is shrinkwrapped with a Connect Access Card. See this link for information on this item which costs about $145.00.
• The access card will allow you to access the book's online system where you will be answering the assignment questions. You will also have access to the eBook which will be valid for one year.
2. You can buy just the Connect Access Card as a Stand Alone item. See the same link above for information on this item which costs about $90.00. (Scroll down if you can't see it.)
   • The access card will allow you to access the book's online system where you will be answering the assignment questions. You will also have access to the eBook which will be valid for one year.
3. It is also possible to purchase these items online from the publisher's web site here. (You pay less for the first option listed above, if you become a member!) 
4. If you have bought a used textbook, (say, from a friend), then you will not be able to do the online assignments since the access card in a used textbook is already used for a previous registration. In that case, the weight for your assignments will be shifted to the midterm and final exam in equal amounts.
