Advice on buying course packs (1 Viewer)

[captainplanet7]

Hi hope everyone's having an awesome first week at uni!

I was just curious about the course packs you need for every subject. I'm doing a mechanical engineering course and
So far from what I've read I need course packs for my physics, maths and chemistry classess.

The funny thing is the physics classes are giving the course packs for free on moodle. This i like!

I can't find the maths or chem course packs online and am quite broke. Does anyone know where I can get them for free or at a reduced price? Or is the only option to buy from the expensive uni bookshop?

Cheers,

C.planet.

What is the course pack for CHEM1011? Is it the course note 'CHEM1011 / CHEM1031 / CHEM1051 - ESSENTIALS OF CHEMISTRY A /' on the UNSW Bookshop site or?

For MATH, they only upload the tutorial questions to Blackboard, so I don't think there is a legitimate PDF version of the course notes. I guess you could use lecture notes.

For PHYS, they do upload the lab manual and homework booklet, but then there's the cost of printing and binding.

Not sure about CHEM, didn't do it and I won't be doing that.

yes that's the one and when I did it the pack was a bunch of paper in a plastic sleeve, I don't get why they don't staple it

Is it necessary? Isn't it just notes?

Yep. But not all of them are online.
