is it compulsory to print out all the lecture notes. my first topic already 50 pages+ . dont want to waste my ink. hehe
*
The answer is no ready but it is recommended to read (browse) through them before the class start.

You may share the print out, then photocopy (which is cheaper).

Welcome to the myth of MMU and first day of MMU life.

Get lost and get fun.

Get lost --> ask security. They are everywhere.
get fun --> ask senior or ask us here.

that's my point exactly, uni text books arent cheap. Legal or not think yourself lo  icon_rolleyes.gif

If that uni book can help you to get few extra mark to make you pass, you save thousand already.

This is good investment I think especially first year text books. You may use them whole your life.

My text book I bought for my first trimester still sitting there collecting dust, cannot sell because it's an old edition.

Did that books help you in your study last time?

I don't want to sell any of my text books, there are full of my highlighted important notes + many of my handwritten notes + stupid drawing while I am boring.
--> a lot of memories linked to them.

Since we're at it, so it starts from lecturer asking us to buy due we have to use this online only quiz, which only can be obtained from the original book purchases. It's IT Mathematics, Algebra & Trigonometry books which give you passcode when you buy one, you take this code, register on its website, wait for your lecturer approve you then we can use the website to study since it provides various questions , so that's the only time we use textbook in class since quiz, assignment all depends on this website, it's horrible horrible website, as an example if you put 3.142, while the correct answer is 3.14, you'll get wrong, let's say it involves 3-4 steps calculation. So in this website your mark will be 0 because it only takes final answer to finalize your mark, it doesnt take step marks. So that's my rant.. and yeah text book are only used when "Okay go home and dont forget to practice, question you can take from the book". Yeah the only bonus point having text book is extra practice question. That's my rant and experience, I never bought any textbooks after that.
*
This is good info. I think you are referred to own custom textbook. There are far less from good, I agree with that.
I think (your case), someone tries to force you to buy a book. I use "force".
Let me dig this out little bit, hopefully can find a way to avoid some lecturers do this again.

--
We are at the wrong ground because most of my textbooks that I purchased before are from well known authors and there are extremely good.

EXACTLY! It happened to student in foundation in management aswell! i even complained to human nature that time. tongue.gif

There were 3 subjects, if im not mistaken. One of them is the thick one at that. And all that we used were the online code. doh.gif

Since then never buy any textbooks. Bad example.

If lecturer never come in class for 20 mins then students can chao right?
*
Someone in the class give lecturer a call, if no reply, check with faculty office.

He may be at MC or EL (Emergency Leave).

Recheck the announcement at MMLS and lecture plan.

Ignore, if it is tutorial class or lab on first week.

None of the above, report to faculty office.

The thing is you can sense controversy when the author of the books are gaining indirect authority to 'force' students into buying their books.

Furthermore, the assessment aren't that great either. We are given a few attempts each student, and there are only very limited sets of questions. Which means most likely you will encounter the same question in your second attempt.

And since it is a home based click and submit easy work, students dun really do it themselves, real story. whistling.gif
*
If it is learning process, fewer sets are ok.

It is to let student to do self confirmation whether he/she has learnt the topic.

But it was for midterm and final, then proctor exam or more exam sets (may be with video cam) is needed.

Put them in teaching evaluation.
