The best part of physic and math is that any book is ok. For my Analytical Mechanic exam i've studied in a 70s book in pdf. 70s of the 1800.

Get copies of previous exam papers, and make sure you can ace every exam. Same style questions appear every year.

Shoutout to my profs that would upload our readings to our online class website thing. All three of them, over 5 years.

Towards the end of my college days they stopped being pdfs and started being web-based readers.

Sounds like some of these professors understand why "education" cost so much.

My book was 85$ pretty cheap compared to the math ones AND it is good for SLG102 and 201

I must have spent £150 on textbooks, one of the most expensive ones was £40 from eBay secondhand. Fucking nightmare. Never bought any new.

Use this custom google search to find books, I find it works the best https://cse.google.com/cse/home?cx=000661023013169144559%3Aa1-kkiboeco

"¿Por qué no los dos?” (what the lil girl says) does not translate to "Why don't we have both." It translates to "Why not both?."

It sounds like you went to a bad college or you had a bad professor. I recently graduated and all of my courses that requires an online code

Supplementary videos can be super helpful. But they should only be supplementary.

The guy would pretty much read through the notes provided by the company (labsim?) and make us watch the videos for the real info

It almost makes me upset considering how much time I put into making lecture notes, and supplementary videos, and tutorial/assignments.

Mine had "5th Edition required." $200+, so fuck that. Got the 4th & don't care if my citations are off.

That's kinda fucked. I try to ensure my notes are complete enough that they are sufficient and the text is optional, but the class text 1/2

This is written by the school. It's not even bound, I shit you not. Just 600+ pages and hole punched.

Unbound books can be useful for content specific to the course (like large lab manuals) or open-source textbooks (yeah, those exist) 1/2

My school has done that a lot, laziest fucking thing ever, and it's all profits for them.
