Michael Fitzpatrick

Some instructors will use electronic resources and some will ask you to buy textbooks or a course packet. You will find out more information during your first class if the instructor doesn't publish a syllabus before the first day of class.

I'm sure it differs for all of the courses, but do you know how textbooks will work? Since my course's syllabus hasn't been published yet, I'm concerned that if there is a textbook, I won't be able to have it for the first week or two of classes,

Hello, everyone! Nice to meet you all! I am Joey and I live in Shanghai. Due to the time zone thing, I will be having classes at 2AM. I was wondering if there is a way that I can attend my classes at another time, say, the next day morning. Thanks!

Hi Tom, hard copies are better, but if the kindle is all you can get, that's probably fine. Ask your instructor when the class begins for more detailed advice.

Tom

11:41

Hey, would you recommend having the plays in hard copy? Or is Kindle ok?

Michael Fitzpatrick
