German R5a Books?

<p>It seems like the required books for each professor varies. My session's professor doesn't even have his/her required book list up yet. What should I do? Just wait until after class starts to buy the books?</p>

<p>Either just wait until the list of books becomes available or wait until the first day. If you're really desperate, send your GSI (it is usually GSIs that teach these courses, not professors) an e-mail.</p>

<p>How do I find out who my GSI is?</p>

<p>simple, look on the online schedule then search up the email thru the German dept site</p>

<p>I e-mailed the professor and she said to buy all 6 books. Could there be a possiblity that the GSI doesn't use the majority of those books??</p>

<p>Who exactly did you e-mail? There shouldn't be any professor, only a GSI (Emily Banwell, for example, is a GSI).</p>

<p>I have Toth - is he/she a GSI too? How do I address her? Not Professor Toth I assume?</p>

<p>I checked my Bearfacts; I e-mailed S. Rahman.</p>

<p>glock - All of them should be GSIs. Normally it is GSIs that teach these sort of courses. So, they are not professors and should not be addressed as such. On the first day your GSI will probably tell you how to address him/her (usually they are casual and preferred to be addressed by their first name in class).</p>
