<p>So, from my understanding, Bio 1A always uses the Campbell Biology textbook (which I own) but this semester, the bookstore is listing a 2e Russell textbook (assuming Biology - The Dynamic Science with a zebra cover).</p>
<p>Being slightly annoyed at the book change, I was wondering if anyone could comment on the necessity of a textbook for 1A...</p>
<p>Considering that I've already taken basically the same class elsewhere (with the Campbell book) and that I took amazing notes, is it really necessary to buy this? I also already completed 1AL and 1B if that changes anything.</p>
<p>Oh and I most likely will be missing a fair amount of ACTUAL class because I suck at waking up early.</p>
