<p>In terms of usage, I like hardcovers better. I don't know why but they feel more textbooky o_o. But do we carry our books to lecture and discussion? If we do is it easier to carry paperback because its lighter? or does it not matter?</p>
<p>The only books I've carried to lecture have been for smaller humanities classes. I don't bother taking them to discussions for most classes, either.</p>
<p><em>smacks forehead</em></p>
<p>Does anybody else find it a little...ridiculous that a UC Berkeley student has to ask others whether a paperback version of a book would be better than the hardcover version, or if it matters if a book is heavier than another when it comes to carrying them? There have already been recent threads on whether you need to bring textbooks to class or not. And, with that knowledge, you should (hopefully) have enough information to decide whether YOU would like the paperback version or the hardcover version of a book. </p>
<p>You should not have to bring your textbook to lecture. Sometimes you might have to bring it to discussion. Sometimes you might want to bring it just to help you follow the material.</p>
<p>Things that are lighter tend to be easier to carry. Because of gravity, it will matter if an object is heavier than another object.</p>
<p>I may have come off as a little harsh there, but some of the questions asked in these threads have common sense answers or are disappointing to hear from UC Berkeley students.</p>
<p>B-b-but what if my water doesn't heat evenly? ;(</p>
<p>Just stir when you heat it, DUH.</p>
<p>Eventhough you guys are messed up sometimes it still makes me laugh. Especially the one where if the GSI checks your hw you get stickers that you can trade in for cookies. hahaha</p>

<p>I understand very clearly the laws of physics. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that I am supposed to have a superiority complex as a UC Berkeley student. But don't worry, from now on I swear I will stop asking questions for fear of appearing stupid and unworthy of UC Berkeley and, if I see someone else asking a stupid question, I will treat them as if they are an imbecile. </p>
<p>Thanks for the response. And yes you did come off a little harsh but I don't think you care.</p>
<p>Hahaha! You crack me up. I know, these freshman have some strange ways of thinking. Perhaps, they need actual Berkeley experiences to straighten out their logic.</p>
<p>unshunreshun: You're going to need tougher skin than that to survive in Berkeley.</p>
<p>
I'm sorry. Can we still be friends?</p>
<p>I understand how gravity and other stuff works. beyond that it's a little fuzzy. And yeah we can be friends ._. although i don't think we'll ever meet >.></p>
<p>well, we can excuse the few freshman who are always too excited for school. After a couple of semesters most will not give a flying **** about what notebook to use, or how many milliseconds it takes to walk from Pimentel to Barker. Whatever that works.</p>
