<p>where can i find last year’s syllabus and textbook names for classes like intro bio and chem?</p>
<p>You just wait until you’re in the class for the syllabus. However, for the books, just go to the bookstore website.</p>
<p>thanks 
random question…what kind of calculator did you use for statistics?</p>
<p>TI-83-84, w/e. I personally have an old 83(89 is too expensive plus I really don’t understand how to work the darned thing. Simple calculations seem to require more steps and caution than on an 83).</p>
<p>when is the best time to buy/rent textbooks?</p>
<p>I would wait until classes start (or around that time) just in case you decide to swap courses or something.</p>
<p>that makes sense. i was looking through the classes to try to make a schedule. how do you know if the classes are just a semester or year long?</p>
<p>Many of the science intros. have a two semester sequence. Most of depts have no such thing. You should perhaps go to the dept. website and check the major requirements to reassure yourself.</p>
<p>thanks you are always helpful</p>
<p>Professors do make last minute changes to their syllabi, plus you may be changing classes through drop/add. I wouldn’t order books in advance unless you pretty sure you’ll want it.</p>
