      Horrible company. I pay for my class and then I have to pay an extra $130 to access it? It's a scam

      Imagine charging you $118 for a rental book and online homework that accounts for 12% of your grade.

      This company is misleading. Either their online material barely works. You cant access it or they double charge you for product with authorization charges. Majority of the people who purchased from this company are college students so personally i think that it is unacceptable to charge double the amount and tying up peoples funds. **************** is hit or miss. Good luck.

      The $140 authorization charge to verify I could also purchase my $140 textbook ******** my bank account. Now I have to wait for this to resolve.

      Reeks of Late Stage Capitalism. We own nothing in today's world, and includes over-priced textbooks now! These bozos offer you the privilege of renting a hardcopy textbook after paying $140 for the licensing of their textbooks for 4 months (You have to pay 9.99+s&h too. They need to pay for their second mega yacht).Nothing's worse than knowing that you're getting ripped off; and, there's nothing you can do about it. You just have to sit there and let greedy corporate overlords decide what's best for our education system (and all other sectors of neoliberal life).God is dead,-************

      Horrible service I am sad that so many school use. They cannot even get the textbooks right, answers and info are straight up wrong and contradict the text itself. This enables colleges to charge thousands of dollars to make students teach themselves and the instructors do nothing whatsoever, it's a giant scam. You people are ruining western civilization

      absolutely awful, many of the problems are not at all related to the coursework. There is no instruction for solving the problems since most of the questions are irrelevant to what we are learning. The problems are terrible and give even worse explanations. Overall my class grade would be better off without this garbage, the most useless classwork ever

      Hello William,

      Thank you for your feedback.  Is there anything that Cengage can assist you with in utilizing your product?  Have you provided feedback to your instructor related to the homework and quizzes that are being assigned in contrast to what you are learning in class?

      Best,

      They are not a company with interests in student learning and support. They are unable to extend any service past 1 effing week. Terrible company that had terribly inflated course materials (which are mid imo) but don't hear out anyone who has special circumstances & cannot afford this company. Stay far away from any Prof. or school that used this service selectively.

      A little predetory with the way they sell textbooks to students. If you buy an only copy you can only buy it for a year. So i buy the physical copy around $160 and its super poor quality the print is bad, paper thin its not hard cover. I would expect this textbook to go for $80 *** at the quality. I also compared it to the previous edition and minimal changes. I cant see how they can justify that price at all. It's ridiculous. Whatever can make them money i guess.
