[PrincessSJ]

I was there much earlier... like around 9am i think... cuase i had a 10am tute..

 

[um..]

i still havent even bought a book yet, the lines are too long and i need that money for beer money

 

[Ranger Stacie]

I'm not gonna bother trying to buy any text books from newcastle just yet cos i cant be bothered

 

[honky tonk]

I'm waiting for the stupid lines to die down.. I still need to buy a couple of books/references as well.. but I guess I can wait a few weeks.

 

[PrincessSJ]

This thread is a year old. I originally thought the same thing, PrincessSJ

 

[PrincessSJ]

* don't ask if there is a list of required texts for courses or you will be told (by the stern german chick):
"Vee dont do zat, zere is a list on zee internet, zis site www.ucb.net.au "

This is really confusing. I've heard "Get every textbook you can" and "Wait until you start so you don't get a useless textbook"

Should I wait and talk to someone in o-week about what books to get?

 

[clive]

get the maths and physics ones (Stewart and Giancanoli) ASAFP

 

[PrincessSJ]

check out the course and judge for yourself.. see what u think

Normally you can just wait until the first week and the lecturers will tell you what to get, and even though you may miss out if you leave it a week or two, you don't have to worry about lining up for an hour in the rain. If you do miss out, you can always get them to order one in or just order off the website, or try the co-op or the 2nd hand, it's generally not a big problem if you don't have the text book, oh yeah, and there's the library.

So I suggest waiting until you start, and if I remember right, o-week isn't about getting helpful answers, it's about free pens and frisbees.

Oh, I thought it was about drinking.

I think there is a 5th edition stewart out now, i saw a new looking one when i went to get my linear algebra textbook a couple of weeks ago

 

[mrbassman]

you're right, but does calculus actually change?

 

[helina]

has anyone actually bought their textbooks off that united campus bookshop website? how long is delivery? or should i just go and line up for hours??

 

[PrincessSJ]
