<p>I already know what classes I’m taking at UC Merced for fall semester, but I wanted to get a head start on the material and read the books. </p>
<p>So how do you figure out which books a professor will be using for the class?</p>
<p>Go to <a href=“efollett”>efollett; or google bookstore uc merced. To the left, there is a link for textbooks. If you are new student, you might have to create a log in or use your UC Merced Portal id and password…not entirely sure. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>When you find your required books it is best to buy them online and not from the bookstore. They’re way overpriced IMO. Amazon, half.com, and sometimes ebay. If there is a international version of the book get it since it’s paperback, weighs less, and costs less.</p>
<p>The UCM bookstore, just started listing the ISBN’s. This is very helpful, for tracking down the correct book on Amazon.<br>
Also, don’t be afraid to contact the professor. I have done this several times and more often than not, they have told me a prior edition would be fine…this saves a lot of money!!!</p>
