<p>What does UCLA use for me to find out what textbooks I need, if I need to read anything before class, etc? Is it Blackboard?</p>
<p>Go to MyUCLA and check out the Study List, which has links to your textbooks.</p>
<p>Thanks! 
But where do I find out if we have to read anything -before- class? :-/</p>
<p>From my experience you don’t have to read anything before the first lecture unless you want to get a head start on the first assignment for math or something like that.</p>
