<p>Last year I saved a TON of money by getting my son's section #s and buying his books from Amazon. One ended up not being needed ($80 mistake), but I saved > $600 so I was still happy. </p>
<p>This year I have found that every stinking book is inside some type of "package" on the MSC website with a made up ISBN (not the one for the book, but the one for the package). Is there anywhere I can actually get the individual book ISBNs? I know there was a law that says the universities have to provide this info somewhere.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken STATS 211 recently? The MSC website says "POSSIBILITIES AND
STATS" by Johnson but neither Amazon or half seem to have that book. Is there a "real" book for that class? Or is this something that the prof wrote and is only available at school? Also, for CHEN 204 there seems to be only a package. If we buy the book can you buy the rest of the "stuff" separately?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>have you checked some of the other bookstores in College Station?
If not, I would just call the MSC bookstore and ask for the ISBN’s - they are required to give it to you by law now.
I have also saved a ton on amazon. Also check Barn’s & Noble. I just bought a new book just now for $80 instead of the MSC price of $150. The $80 was even less than the MSC used price. Used Barn’s & Noble authorized sellers - like Amazon marketplace - and used a B&N gift card my daughter won from Aggie Mom’s club.</p>
<p>Will check thanks!</p>
<p>You might want to lay off on purchasing the STAT 211 book for a bit if possible. I took that class, and bought the book (which was expensive, new edition) and didn’t look at it almost at all. I looked at it for a couple definitions, but no examples were given through the book. I believe STAT 211 courses all assign the same online homework which is where a bulk of the learning is done. All the information I needed to get an A in this course was in class. I am one of the most heavy book self learners. I love going back to the book and learning in most my classes, but STAT 211 was an exception. You may get a different instructor that bases more from the book, but just a heads up.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Great advice…what prof did you have chaos?</p>
<p>Yanyuan Ma, she was actually pretty good.</p>
