Question for current students reg books

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Santa Barbara

<p>Incoming freshman here. Two of my classes have no textbooks listed on Gold. Since one of these classes is Sociology 1 that seems odd. As I would like to have necessary books in advance of first day of class, what do you suggest? E-mailing the professor is an obvious possibility but seems inefficient from the prof's perspective. Thanks in advance for any help.</p>

<p>You should try this site: <a href=“http://www.ucsbstuff.com/SelectTermDept.aspx[/url]”>http://www.ucsbstuff.com/SelectTermDept.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>When are we SUPPOSED to have our books? The first day of class?</p>

<p>Yes, that is the site and there are no books listed for my classes and yes I would assume it would be prudent to have them the first day of class.</p>

<p>Bump. Any current students who can answer question? Hairylemon perhaps?</p>

<p>Matrix, I doubt you want to summon The Hairy Lemon. Big mistake :stuck_out_tongue:
Kidding though. Did you try the website that EnterSandman gave you?</p>

**I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED TO ANSWER MATRIX’S QUESTION.</p>

<p>DUN-DUN. DUN-DUN-DEE-DUN, DUN DUN!**</p>

<p>On a more serious note –</p>

<p>If there are no books listed for your class in question (esp. for a class like Soc I), then email the professor. Or wait until the first day of classes to see what the syllabus says. </p>

<p>(My personal input: I am dead sure there are textbooks for Soc 1. The professor may be just too lazy to list the books, or he/she hasn’t decided which book to use. . .yet.</p>

<p>I did a simple search on Craigslist for Soc 1 books, and this [url=<a href=“http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/bks/2446859098.html]ad[/url”>http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/bks/2446859098.html]ad[/url</a>] seems to confirm my suspicions (unless the seller had a different Soc 1 professor.)</p>
