The difference between...
What is the difference between:

CUSTOM BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE (VOL 1&2)(INCL. SHORT GUIDE)(3 PARTS)

and

CUSTOM BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE (VOL 1)(INCL. SHORT GUIDE)(2 BOOKS)?

Do I need to buy both of them (Taking Bio 1A03) ? If so, how do I tell them apart if I'm buying from an upper-year student :S ?

The first one includes the book for bio 1m03, 2nd doesnt. If you're taking both bio 1a03 and bio 1m03, the first pack is better, because otherwise you'd have to buy the 1m03 book alone, which comes out to more money.

That's what Ryan said.

As to telling them apart, one has Volume 1 written on it while the other has Volume 2 written on it.

The first is only Microeconomics, so only ECON 1B03.

The second also includes Macroeconomics, so both ECON 1B03 and 1BB3.

Thanks! Does anyone know if the Econ 1B03 textbook is necessary? :S I don't want to buy something that I won't be using....

For 1B03 it is completely useless. The prof. (Hannah Holmes) posts all the powerpoints she uses online. She does nothing but read them out in class so there is no reason to go to class or read the textbook.

Memorize the powerpoints + Do all the quizzes/assignments on Avenue = Easiest 12 ever


You might be thinking "It can't be that easy"

I never thought I'd have over 100% in a university class going into the exam. Hannah Holmes changed all that

Volume 1 is for Biology 1A03

Volume 2 is for Biology 1M03

The short guide to writing biology comes with either one.
