What are some textbooks/course books that you have bought for the semester that you did not use?

ME:

Biology 1M03 Textbook (flipped through it I guess but all important materials were on handouts/slides)
Physics Textbook (Life Science)
Psychology Course Book

... I also did not use my multimedia course book... but I didn't buy it anyways..

The only text book I used was Chemistry

I didn't use the huge brick of a textbook I "needed" for art history 1A03, Art Across Time. And I didn't use the handbook for Psychology 1X03.

I'm pretty sure that notes I make for myself while watching the online lecture are exactly what is in the handbook... so it depends on how lazy you are. I mean... making the notes is like studying for me...

Psych course booklet.
How Humans Evolved. (Should have used it, but instead used the CD thing for derived traits (had multiple choice questions for practice).

well the psychology course ware was just outlines where you could take notes... initially, I tried doing that ... but my writing is so big and messy that I ditched that.
