Ask the course instructor if they are going to fund the purchase of MS
Word.  Explain that while the purchase of a $50 or even $100 text book,
while a little excessive is acceptable, the purchase of $3-500 software
product just for the sake of a class is absurd and should not be a
course requirement.  Ask about alternatives.  Ask now, so that in the
future when you are ready for the class, changes can have had time to
take effect.
