Textbooks and Readers

<p>Hey Guys,
I'm new to College Confidential.
I have some qustions for future freshman and current students. First, has anyone taken African American Studies 27ac (minorities and struggle)? If you have, do you guys know what the required books/novels are? The Cal store does not have them online. </p>

<p>Second question: when should I buy course readers like for Astro C10 and the lab manual for Chem 1a? Also, can I buy the readers at a cheaper price than the Cal student store? For examle, can i get a reader at Copy Central or Odin readers for cheaper or are all the readers the same price?</p>

<p>Third: I was awarded a $5,000 outside scholarship and it arrived at Cal 2 days ago(i got an email) how do scholatships work? Do i pay with the miney or do they deduct $5,000 from CARS? Finally when are CARS bills updated?</p>

<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>The prof chooses which copy center to print the reader, so you don’t have any choice but to buy full price from the designated copy center - they never go on sale (unless you buy it off of someone who drops the class). I checked today and Zee Zee copy hasn’t printed any course readers yet, so I doubt any other copy centers have printed course readers. Readers are usually ready 1-2 weeks after the semester starts.</p>
