Kinesiology 1Y03 textbook question
I just bought a Kin book for 60 dollars. I now found out that there is a non reusable access code with the textbook which can only be purchased as a bundle at titles...according to them. Does anyone know if this is true? Is this card even needed from experience? Looks like I might have to buy the book brand new... :(

u dont need the card

the card gives u access to online version of the book and some added features (like Learn Smart which is basically a bank of online quizzes).

for kin 1y03/1yy3, u have weekly quizzes on the material learnt on that week. the profs never use questions from Learn Smart (they said so themselves)

to do well on quizzes, study the lecture notes thoroughly, and cross-reference with the textbook. easy 14/15 or 15/15

Nope, you don't need it at all. And besides any supplementary info you might need can be easily found through other resources on the internet.

$60?!?
wow that's a really good deal!

-you don't need the access card or even the textbook to ace the course!
everything that was asked during quizzes and the exam was exclusively from lecture notes.
but to be honest even if you don't need the textbook for this course, its still great to have because its such a great text!
