Survey about textbook (agree or strongly agree percentage) The e-book gives me good explanation to understand the lesson on my own (60%) The e-book provides enough examples for me to understand the material (67%) I used the e-book regularly during the semester(40%) I have used my e-book to prepare for exams (60%) The e-book was easy to read and used mathematical terminology comparing my instructor’s terminology (60%) The e-book was easy to access and read on my phone (60%) The e-book was easy to access and read on my computer (67%)

Survey about Web-assign (agree or strongly agree percentage) It was easy to create and sign into a Web-Assign account (93%) It was easy to purchase Web-Assign(73%) It was easy to navigate and answer questions in Web-Assign(93%) Web-Assign helped me understand what I learned in class (80%) Web-Assign provided enough problems to prepare for in class quizzes and tests (80%) The Web-Assign provided helpful examples to solve problems (73%) Knowing that other students paid $130 for MyMathLab in other MATH 1111 courses, I am content with Web-Assign’s $35 price (73%)

Students’ comments "I enjoy not paying for a textbook" "It helped me out a lot in this course" "The free textbook made it easier to access the information whenever I needed it. I didn't have to always carry it around" "it provided me with the proper information must of the time. However, there were a few times I had trouble when looking for certain topic“ "overall. Web-assign was beneficial. However, there were several times that it would say that my answer would be wrong even though it is correct." " it made it easier to get because of the lower cost for almost the same material" "very good resource and study tool" ""really like the price, didn't feel as difficult as MyMahlab, but still some questions were too advanced"

My view Good Not so good Textbook Same contents but free Could not find some content (circle, polynomial inequalities, rational inequalities) Software Cheap Students can access easily from day one There are not many choice of problems yet.
