<p>Wow! Thanks for the list of websites bethpage.</p>
<p>ohnoitsheather: i'm not sure if idson will stick with the no aplia, but he was the ONLY section w/o aplia last year, so that was pretty cool and he prob will do it again this year. check on the b&n booklist! aplia is a pain to do, feel lucky haha. idson is also pretty easy if you read the textbook n do the probs, but super boring in lecture :/ i think maybe a fourth of the class went... goto discussion though! brad rice is the best TF ever!</p>
<p>kevster1001: i heard watson is the man... easy and hilarious in lecture. that looks right (though we never used undercover economist... i have no idea what that is) but if you're really that worried about getting the wrong textbooks, e-mail your profs, i promise they won't bite. and you'll definitely be getting the right texts :)</p>
<p>Where do you check what books you'll need?</p>
<p><a href="http://bu.bkstore.com%5B/url%5D">http://bu.bkstore.com</a>
Use that to find the books you need, then note down the publisher, edition, and the partial name they give you. Use that information to track down the book on amazon.com or half.com. Bookstores usually overprice most books.</p>
<p>Or, you can use a site like [url=<a href="http://www.bigwords.com%5DBIGWORDS.com%5B/url">http://www.bigwords.com]BIGWORDS.com[/url</a>] which is an agregator that searches many different sites for the best priced textbooks.</p>
<p>Order of Operation: bu.bkstore.com to find title/publisher/edition -> amazon to find the book and note down it's ISBN # -> BigWords.com.</p>
<p>Actually, after you get the ISBN # from amazon.com, you can use anywhere else to find the book with the certain ISBN #; almost any other site other than college bookstores will yield much cheaper prices.</p>
<p>i buy mine mostly from ebay eBay</a> Store - New and Used College Textbooks: cheap textbook, economics brue, principles of corporate finance</p>
<p>or textbookw.com</p>
<p>So in conclusion:</p>
<p>EC 101 (Watson) - Principles of Microeconomics, Undercover Economist
IR 271 (Berger) - World Politics in a New Era, Classical Readings in Int'l Relations.</p>
<p>Man, this is a hassle. So many books for one class. -_-</p>
<p>Does anyone have the ISBN for the BI107 book? On the BU website all they give you is "BIOLOGY>CUSTOM<:EVOL.,DIVER.+E COLOGY" and I want to make sure I'm finding the right book.</p>
<p>Ok so let's just say that I do decide to buy a book from another place that's cheaper. The only thing is that it has to be the same edition right? Does it matter whether the publishers are the same???</p>
<p>As far as responses go, yes you need the same edition/publisher/date, etc</p>
<p>Ok, I just checked the list again and it's updated. Great. </p>
<p>For EC 101 - yes, Principles of Microeconomics by Mankiw (for those with Watson)</p>
<p>But, what is APLIA? I bought the textbook in amazon a week before, and now I realize I need to buy the required package WITH APLIA. Is aplia a CD? A card? Can you buy it separately because I already have the textbook.</p>
<p>There's also a REQUIRED COMPONENT that says APLIA.INTERACT.TXTBK.SOLN.ACCESS CARD. Is this the APLIA?</p>
<p>yeah, this is it. aplia is an online website program that lets you do weekly homework sets through the website which is auto-graded and sent to the prof. you can buy it online as well as purchasing it through b&n. you probably bought it already if it says you purchased it!</p>
<p>If it's not a textbook, but like a novel, does it really matter? Also, some of the books I found have a different publisher listed, but same edition, author, and title. Should I get it anyway?</p>
<p>One of the books I ordered came back Out of Stock. Should I go ahead and order it somewhere else?</p>
<p>here's my article on how to save money on books:</p>
<p>if anyone is looking for CGS books for freshman, let me know. I have a stack from last year.</p>
