<p>I'm kind of lost...like one of my classes has a LOT of books and do I bring those with me to the first day of class or do we go to the first day of class empty-handed?</p>
<p>Do most students bring their books to class?</p>
<p>I would like to know too. Does that mean if we have stacked classes, do we bring textbooks for all of those classes as well?</p>
<p>For classes like poli sci and history, I always went to lecture empty-handed but I would bring the main textbook to the discussion. If the class you're talking about is english (one where the bookstore lists like a gazillion books for), I wouldn't bring any books on the first day since there's no telling which novel/play/etc you're going to read first.
I'm not a science major, so I don't know about science classes.</p>
<p>What about for math classes? Do we generally bring a notebook for the lecture, and the textbook for the discussion?</p>
<p>just a notebook</p>
<p>^Depends on what you like. I liked to bring my textbook to discussions so I could remind myself of formulae and stuff.</p>
<p>But generally one does not bring a textbook to a lecture?</p>
<p>Again, depends on whether or not YOU feel like you'll need the textbook during lecture. Probably not, but different profs have different styles.</p>
<p>Most (~85%) of the people just bring notebooks.</p>
<p>from an engineering standpoint, i have never brought a book to lecture. for discussions, though, you often use your books.</p>
