Hey for the class readings we get from the copy centre, do we have to pay for them or do we get them for free? just hoping they're free cos i just forked out $680 for textbooks!

$680

holy shit

you have to pay for readings

is there anyway we can buy online and get them sent to our house?

 

[tennille]

You can order them online, and get them delivered to your house. There is an option down the bottom which allows you to choose the delivery method.

yeah as soon as i asked the question, i thought to myself why not just google it. would have saved me time. also, nxt to some of my subjects, it says summer school, should i just ignore this? one more thing, if my subject isnt listed, does that mean there are no readings for it? this is the case for PSYC1001 and SCLG1001, just incase that helps.
thanks again

I'm not sure. The summer school bit means it's sepcifically for those subjects run during summer school, but I'm not sure if this would be any different to the course in semester 1.

When do we need our textbooks by?

Does anyone know the textbook for Chemistry 1A/B?

 

[velox]

Most of the textbooks for science are recommended. They won't force you to get one unless there are assignments based on the questions in the book (eg. Physics).

I'm going to get all the ones I need, just wanted to know when I'd need them by. I only know my textbook for one subject, so I guess I'll have to wait until lectures start to find out what I need.

You can go to the co-op bookshop website and find your text list for your subjects. If you're doing first year bio & chem, they have a special pack where you can get both books for 185.

ive only bought one text book in 2 years.
and even that was a waste of 80 dollars.

i cant imagine spending 680 dollars

Not free, but atleast be thankful you no longer have to fork out another $500+ for Union, SRC etcetera fees.

$680? Is that for one semester's worth of textbooks? Co-Op discount, no?

Yeah, I've arranged to get my bio book through textbook exchange. Now I'm worried it's not the right one though, it's Knox and 3rd edition, which is what I was told to get, but I thought the book was just called 'Biology' and not 'Biology: an Australian Focus'. Anyone know if this is the right textbook?

 

[zeek]

no, thats the right one. I bought the new one from co-op and its got the same title

 

[thenothing]

Thanks heaps *phew* what a relief It comes with the CD.. hopefully I can use the online resources but I guess I'll find out.

That co-op site looks good, but there's three chem text books :/

 

[zeek]

ya, i called up and asked the doc and he goes to only get the first one coz thats the best one "Chemisty: THe Molecular Nature of Matter and Change, Silberberg"
