The Access Code. This card has your unique, 12-digit, title-specific, personal code to get into the class. The Access Code and the Plotnik text are packaged together at a discount price only at Delta's Bookstore. You must have this code to enter the course.

A Code works only one time for one person for one semester. As a student enters the course for the first time the code is permanently locked to that student's account and no longer used or usable. Sharing is not possible.

If you have a used 9th edition, you must purchase the Code from the Publisher. See Ifs, Cans And Cannots .... far down this page.

Mr. Payne

Payne, R., Activities for Introduction to Psychology, Online Class Only. current edition, Delta College.

The two main sections of this book include course information, pages 1 - 14 and lecture outlines. You must complete the outlines while viewing PowerPoint lectures. About half of Exam questions come from your notes in the Activities Book.

Used Activities Books may not be used. See Ifs, Cans And Cannots ... far down this page.

**Do's and Don'ts For Plotnik's Text and Webtutor Code**
Do	Don't
Buy and have your books in hand before the semester starts.	Don't wait later than a week into the semester to have books in hand. The Webtutor Access Code is required to get into the course.
Buy Plotnik from Delta's Bookstore either online through the link on Delta's home page or through Cengage's Brain.	Don't buy a new book from an online book company other than Cengage. They may have the text for less but not a valid Access Code. If you buy from them, you must also buy the Access Code direct from the publisher. Cost $31.50. See Ifs, Cans And Cannots .... far down this page.
Check the Plotnik book before opening the plastic wrap. Be sure the card wrapped with the book says Access Code .	Don't open the plastic wrap around the Plotnik book hastily. The Access Code card may fall out.
When going to Delta's Bookstore, tell the clerk you are an Online Psychology 1 student in Mr. Payne's class and need the Online version of Plotnik. Or say you want a used Plotnik without Webtutor, vMentor or InfoTrac if available. Then you must buy the Webtutor Access Code direct from the publisher. Cost $31.50. Plan well ahead. See Ifs, Cans And Cannots below.	Don't send a friend or relative to the Delta's Bookstore without a printout of this page marked clearly with what you need. Just taking your Deltagram or class schedule will not work because they don't say "Online". Delta will not refund books purchased in error. Explain what you see to the left to your friend or relative.
The new loose-leaf version of the book is cheaper than a new hardcover or paperback, but is not available used and can not be sold back to the Bookstore.	Don't expect to sell back the loose-leaf version at book buyback time. Your savings is at the time of purchase.

**Do's and Don'ts For Payne's Activities Book**
Do	Don't
Get the "Online" version of the Activities Book by Mr. Payne. It has a light brown cover and says "For Online ..." on the front cover.	Don't get the one for on-campus classes, with a blue cover.
Buy your own, new, personal copy of the Activities Book. Used ones are not sold in any bookstore or online company. They are only at Delta.	Don't get a used one from a friend or relative. I make changes from semester to semester and you don't mentally own the notes. See Ifs, Cans And Cannots .... below and scroll down the box.
Ask for all material at the Bookstore if it is not on the open shelves.	Don't expect to sell back the Activities Book. The Bookstore won't buy used ones.

**Ifs, Cans And Cannots, Whys And Why Nots**
You may get a used 9th edition of Plotnik from a friend, the Bookstore, or from an online book company. But, earlier editions and used Access Codes will not work. A Code works only one time for one person for one semester. Sharing is not possible. If you get a used 9th edition of Plotnik, you must buy the code direct from the publisher. Total Cost: about $31.50. Payable only by credit or debit/ATM card. Checks not accepted. To buy the Access Code alone: Click here: CengageBrain or call Cengage Publishing Customer Service: 1-800-842-3636. They will want the ISBN number. You can get it by clicking CengageBrain above.
Buy in person at Delta's Bookstore, or order far enough ahead to allow for shipping. "My books (or Code) haven't arrived," is not an excuse for missing course deadlines.
Buy your own, new, Activities Book. Used Activities Books have someone else's notes inside. That person mentally owns the notes. That person can remember writing,"XYZ," about this or that. You can't. The notes are just as strange to you as the textbook's pages. Get the best learning by entering your own notes in a new book. You will mentally own them and should remember them better at exam time. Activities Books are not expensive.
You may share a Plotnik book with someone close to you, but both of you must buy individual Webtutor Access Codes from the Publisher. Sharing one code will not work. You must also buy individual Activities Books.
Changes in the 9th edition from the 8th mean you can not use an older edition.
