Do not buy if you were planning on using the online tools that were advertised as included in the item description. The access code was missing from the front cover of the book even though the book text clearly stated that this was where the access code should be located. When I called customer service to inquire about where I could find the access code to view the online tools, I was told "you have a physical, paperback book, right? You don't need an online book." Clearly the customer service representative did not understand the difference between an online book and online tools even after I tried to explain the difference, so this person was of no help. If the access code for using online tools is not included with the book, then they should not include the following in their item description:Integrated online learning tools offer a variety of unique ways to master medical terminology:interactive games and activitieselectronic flashcardsanatomy and physiology tutorialscareer videosquizzes5,000-term English/Spanish glossaryThis is false advertising.
I have no used this book yet but I'm taking it for an online class through my college. I was buying it electronically to get the online access code for my college class, but my college class uses a site called blackboard. Many of the colleges/universities use the blackboard platform for their classes. Well this class requires me to have the access code for blackboard. When I purchased this I didn't realize I couldn't use the online access code that offers you on the blackboard platform. The online code is only for the publishers website, if you want the blackboard code you have to have it mailed to you from the publisher. I wish this was more clear on all ends because I went on a wild goose chase to try and find out what was going on with the code. I really didn't want to have to buy the actual book because I hate carrying around books and everything is offered through the online access code anyways.
The textbook came in good condition. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I thought I would receive the book and flashcards as described but I only received the textbook. It's okay though because I can make my own flashcards.
Very disappointed. I ordered this book specifically for the flash cards and they weren't included. I called to figure out what the problem was and was told that it was a code I needed-not physical flash cards. Okay, fine. But they couldn't give me a code since it was used, so I had to return it and get a book from somewhere else because I needed it for a class. Very frustrated.
Personally, I would suggest getting a physical book so you can copy the pages if you're renting, or so you can write In your own book. There's lots of assignments in the book, they weren't required for my class but do
The flash cards were incomplete; there were several times when i had to supplement my own flash cards for items in the book that were not in the pre made cards. The pictures and descriptions in the book were done well, and the activities and end of chapter type questions were also good. I would recommend doing your own flash cards and just buying the book.
Im very disappointed. I bought the book new last week and it came as advertised. Mint condition and with the flash cards...BUT where is the access code?! Im very upset because I was looking forward to accesing the online studying quizzes. It comes with a QR code, but its separate then the actual book content..slightly upset. The book DOES NOT come with an access code for those who are looking for a book with one. I now have to buy a separate one in addition to the book purchase.Thanks for making the poor college student a real thing.
I bought this book a few days ago and I still haven't gotten the access code. I've talked to three people in customer support. One said that I would get the access code yesterday and they would make sure of it. Didn't happen. And another one said they sent the problem to the content team and the book wouldn't be available for purchase while they reviewed the issue. It's still available for purchase. Anyways, no access code.
