Overall, I am satisfied with the convenience, access, & portability of the open textbook%Jhangiani & Le Grand (2014)

The cost savings that come with an open textbook are important to me%Jhangiani & Le Grand (2014)
What is the average cost of the textbooks that you purchase for your other courses?
Jhangiani & Le Grand (2014)%
I would have preferred to pay for a traditional textbook for this course
Jhangiani & Le Grand (2014)%
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 bookIt's free and it's a great money saver
