<p>Hey, do we need to buy textbooks for each of the classes that we do in the shopping period? For example, I looked at the syllabus of one class and saw that there was a required text- should I have that by tomorrow? Or will the teacher go over this in class because not every plans on taking the class? Help, I need the answer tonight!</p>
<p>Teachers' assignments are not bound by students' use of Shopping period. They can and will make assignments. The more you delay, the further behind you fall. Working Shopping Period becomes sort of an art... but you get the hang of it.</p>
<p>Plus, I'm pretty sure you can return brand new textbooks.</p>
<p>Finally, get off of CC and go ask an upperclassman -- be social darn it! LOL. Good luck to you</p>
<p>Alright, thanks! So basically...I should somehow find a way to go buy the book. Crap...</p>
<p>And BTW, I'm not exactly a Yalie yet. Hehe, I'm a high school student taking a class at Yale that starts tomorrow. I was just notified that I got in the class today. Wowee.</p>
<p>You don't need a book for the first class ever. You might for the second, depending on the class (though you can usually get away with just catching up with the work). By the third class meeting, even though it's shopping period, assignments will be normal (this is all in reference to classes that meet 2+ times per week. Seminars, which meet once per week, all have reading/homework assigned for the second class).</p>
