A traditional hardcover textbook is not required for this class; however, you must purchase an Online Homework Platform called MindTap. MindTap is a digital interactive platform that contains assessments, videos, study tools, and seamless access to an ebook wherever you are. The cost of the Online Homework Platform is $111, but you will receive a 20% discount from the publisher. You will make this purchase on the first day of class within Canvas. Please contact precollege@ucsd.edu if you have questions.
