<p>i have following courses:</p>
<p>m408m, m316, mis302F, phy303k, phy103m, and mus302L.</p>
<p>i ordered all the required books on the 24th and 25th of august through amazon and austintxbooks.com (are these sellers reliable?)</p>
<p>do u guys think they r gonna be here soon?
do u think i'll be fine without the books for those courses for a few weeks?</p>
<p>thanks, im just really stressed and worried right now</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat as you now, well actually I haven’t even ordered mine yet (will do so later today).</p>
<p>I’m just worried about Calculus, since we have bookwork due everyweek. Should I just order that from the co-op so that I will at least have it in time?</p>
<p>Well it’s obviously bad if your prof requires them for homework. Most of mine have the first chapter available on blackboard. Others use Blackboard/ Webassign for homework. None of my classes actually require the textbook, though it’d be hard to learn anything without it.</p>
<p>do not worry. you will be fine. use the textbooks on reserve at the library for now.</p>
<p>xtra: thanks, i’ll try that</p>
<p>The library as in the PCL or another library on campus?</p>
<p>Also how does that work out (using library textbooks).</p>
<p>Most of the math books are on reserve at RLM, chem at the chem library, so on so forth.</p>
<p>The reserve textbooks are allowed check out time of only two hours, so people have to return the book after hours or they risk a hefty fine.</p>
<p>You can get around the two hour thing if you checkout just before closing time. Won’t have to return them until the next morning lol</p>
<p>bacdgk, yes that is an option. However, I always wake up late the next day and got a 15 dollar fine on one of the reserve books that way. Therefore, I don’t recommend doing that unless you have alarm clocks.</p>
