The online access codes are the biggest rip off going! S17 is taking a required language class - the cost of the books are triple any other class!! The book itself was $130; the online access code was another $150!!! He borrowed the text from the language office. Luckily we held off on the code because of the price and it seems the professor is letting them do the assignments on paper instead of having to buy the code to submit assignments online. Hope he keeps it up all semester!
