I was tricked into buying so many books I never once opened and still got an A or B in the class. Professors stress how important they are, how much they're going to work them into the class, blah blah BLAH. They're lying just to get you to spend money! Out of all my classes in two semesters, I only needed to use TWO different books. I'm serious. I've learned my lesson now. I'm sure colleges vary with this, but be warned!
Lol, yeah... one of my profs took assignment questions out of the textbook (and didn't teach how to do them, meaning read the textbook) and similar things are the only reason I had to buy books.
I stopped buying books before class starts, now I wait until they become obviously necessary (in one case 1 1/2 months into term I picked one up used)
