2nd year textbooks (business)
Alright, so. I'm pretty sure I've yet to meet someone who hasn't regretted buying a first year book. Personally, I wish I hadn't bought a single one of the books...I NEVER used them.

So for anyone who's been in the situation, what's it like with the 2nd year books? Are they used more often? Are they required? (For example, in first year, I got by on every midterm and exam with just the teacher's lecture notes...never read a book)

Let me know of your experiences with the 2nd year textbooks.

Recommend to find a friend who is in the same program and share the textbooks, you will need some articles or problems in the textbook.

I used every single textbook in 2nd year commerce. They aren't a waste of money this time around. (Except 2KA3)

Straight from the horse's mouth eh

Well, I guess it depends on how much you used the 1st year books. I assume you didn't use them?

For any lurkers, some second year textbooks in biology are useless.

1st year texts were mostly useless. It was definitely necessary in Commerce 1E03. But other than that......useless.
