Which short guide to writing would you recommend? Just VOL #1 or both VOL #1 and 2? If you could, can you give a reason as well. Thanks a lot. |

There is only 1 short guide to writing. The vol 1 and 2 are the actual textbooks for the Bio 1A03 and 1M03 courses. I already provided a reason which was that it helped me during lab write ups. It explains the format along with a lot of other things.

Ok thanks Usman. Do you think it would be enough to get Vol #2 or would you recommend both volumes? |

Well you will have to buy both volumes since one of them is for Bio 1A03 and the other is for Bio 1M03. I personally bought the package which came with both volumes and the short guide to writing.

I didn't buy the study guide and did well. If anything you can a couple of friends can pitch in to buy it and share it but I really don't think it's necessary.

That's a good idea, might do that myself. I mean if its not really necessary, if it is I'll get it myself.
