<p>I'm planning to buy the Chem 210 textbook online; however it seems as if it's a custom package specifically made for UofM. Would I still be able to buy it online at half.com or bigwords.com, or would I need to buy it from the school library? Comments from anyone who took Chem 210? Thanks</p>
<p>You just need the coursebook to be honest. It’s the only really useful thing in the class (other than your notes)</p>
<p>What’s in the package? Book and study guide? I don’t get your question…I’m sure it’s online if you look for it, and theres always book stores/other students willing to sell. Unless they changed the textbook this year, that would suck for me.</p>
<p>Its not a custon package. You just need to buy the books. The “package” is all the books together. Buy on half.com, facebook marketplace, or the student book exchange.</p>
<p>the “package” includes the textbook “organic chemistry by ege” and the workbook “organic chemistry by ege”</p>
<p>If you buy on half.com (like I did) it won’t set you back more than $30 for a “like new” textbook and workbook.</p>
<p>the custom edition is a paperback edition that has only the chapters covered in 210/215 with the study guide for those chapters i think. so its problaby more expensive and less durable. if you really want a book buy the green one if its cheaper.
i agree with pistons08 the class notes and the coursepack is what benefits you the most. i read the book but it didn’t realy provide anything that the class notes didnt.</p>
<p>I can’t find “Structure & Reactivity, Author: Coppola, Publisher: Hayden-McNeil 2009” anywhere.</p>
<p>:/</p>
<p>That’s the coursepack for the new semester. Pretty sure you have to go to the bookstore for that</p>
<p>I read the book intensively for the 3rd test in orgo 1 and the 2nd test of orgo 2. I skimmed over the entire book throughout the course.</p>
<p>While it’s true that the book is definitely not necessary in order to do well in orgo, there are just a few concepts sprinkled throughout the book that, although they aren’t explicitly mentioned in class, tend to appear on tests. </p>
<p>For reference, I got A+s both semesters.</p>
