Textbooks
To safe guard against burning a hole in your pocket take the following principles into account:
-Get your book list as soon as humanly possible
-As soon as you have your booklist, get what you can at G Mart—but keep in mind that year-specific texts change their content annually
-Unit texts are available in the library reserve section
-Texts that are “recommended” may be referred to only once or twice in a course
-To avoid a collection of expensive books you never use, delay buying your recommended texts until your first class to see what the lecturer/tutor says; alternatively, refer to the ones in the library in the short-term and purchase a copy if it becomes an increasingly useful resource
P.S. G Mart operates a second-hand book service, get in early to avoid buying a new book!
