I'm going to sprout some grey hairs in a minute after I calculate the total cost of my books.

For Linguistics 1A03 there is a book but there's none in stock. ><

Yeah, they're ordering books. Just give it a week maybe two, but it'll definitively be there before school starts.

Books are more expensive, and I have even more to buy. Last year I only needed like 6 books.

Books for one seminar: $148.30. The other seminar is probably going to cost the same.
It's gonna be an expensive year.

530 dollars, and that's only for first term. ...
>_<
Last year I paid around 850 for the whole year. Hey, does anyone know if the same book for Psych 1X03 is used for 1XX3?

You need absolutely no course ware for either Psych course, the textbook is completely optional and you'll likely never use the handbook (in 1XX3 the sometimes ask Q's from the intro blurbs, but they never did this in 1X03)

I have to buy
BFWPUB - I>CLICKER
for $41.95 for both Chemistry and Biology...I assume I only need one of these and that will be used for either/both courses? Just how the Science 1A00 course has to be taken as a pre-req for all your science courses?
What is it anyway?

Science 1A00 is a lab safety course. You need to pass it in order to be allowed in a lab.

Ah, I meant the "BFWPUB - I>CLICKER" for $41.95 Lol
I just used the science as an example of how I don't need to buy two of those, because just one will fulfill the requirements for both Biology and Chemistry, correct?
Thanks

iClicker is this little... instrument that you use in lecture to answer small questionnaires. Last year we had it in my Sociology class, and our prof would put up questions on her slides with choices, and on the iClicker, there's like five buttons you can click to input your answer. You have to register it on a site and stuff, but that part's free. |

You use the same iClicker for all the classes that use it. If you are taking Physics, we also used it in that class.

Grand total for three courses: $548.25. My other two classes have courseware "in production" so no cost is given.
I'm going to assume they're at least $60 each.
