<p>Its pretty obvious that colleges do not release class textbook information until you arrive on campus so you buy the textbooks at the university bookstore for practically close to full price. I will be getting my course schedule by the end of this month, but I know some of my teachers for my sections already, so I wanna get my books somewhere cheap like half.com. So I wanted to know if any current students do not mind telling me what textbook and author are used for the following courses:</p>
<p>Chemistry 117-118- with Robert Scheidt
Biology 161-162 with Tenniswood
Calculus A-B
Latin 1 (Introductory) with Mazurek, Tadeusz
Psychology Seminar with Jeanne Day.
And I am sure that First Year Comp books will be decided when I begin classes</p>
<p>At least if you guys do not mind helping me with the current books of Math and Science, that would save me a lot of money. I would like to email the departments and ask them, but I feel awkward asking the department about this information, so I was hoping if you current Domers could help me out. By the way, I am not sure if textbooks vary or not year after year.</p>
<p>I do not know of any of those classes, but honestly I would be careful with that information anyways just becase some teachers change books nearly every year. What I would recommend is wait until the lists are out and then order them online. You will not have them on the first day most likely but most teachers understand that you may be ordering your books and that isn't a problem (usually you don't need them too much for the first few weeks anyways). I would just order them when you know for sure what books you need!</p>
<p>Just keep an eye on the bookstore website. About 2 weeks before the semester begins, the jerks will release the list so that they can get as many people buying from the bookstore only as possible. </p>
<p>I suggested before that you try Barnes and Noble online if you're looking for a good deal on books. They have free shipping on orders of $25 and more plus you can always search for coupon codes for their website and getting a membership gives you a 10% discount on your orders. I saved $60 last semester doing this. Just make sure they aren't special edition versions of the book. I know some of my texts are specially printed for ND courses and contain only some of the text chapters.</p>
<p>Do you think it would be a good or bad idea to individually email the department/professor asking about the textbook??? Or would they look down upon that....</p>
<p>Right now, according to reports on the admitted students forum, we're really REALLY not supposed to know our schedule yet. Judging from what people have been saying about their individual calls to their counselors, a lot of people over at ND are quite perturbed, and are telling people to wait until the official schedule comes out.</p>
<p>I guess what I'm saying is that I wouldn't contact anyone just yet, it'll probably just tick them off and they'll tell you to wait.</p>
<p>I would just wait honestly. You will know soon enough to order your books online. I use Amazon.com and buy used books through their resellers and while I don't have all the books at the start of class, it doesn't take long! Really, don't stress this, it isn't that bad.</p>
