I would not have bought the text book for
this course because it's an elecIve. 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

Tucked in a corner of the Cheam Mountain Golf Course clubhouse, twenty academics pored over textbooks and tapped
away on laptops Saturday in an effort to make educational history.
The participants, who all have doctorates in psychology, gathered from around British Columbia to create a body of
high-quality test questions for the Open Textbook Project.
