You can generally find most books at a cheaper price than the Coop...lilsxcwog89 said:Dont buy the required text Essential Jurisprudence from the Co-op bookshop, ($45) its a rip-off. You can buy the same book from Angus and Robertson for $37.
Personally, I'd buy it. It's a pretty small investment that'll last you five years. Particularly handy for 2nd year.PwarYuex said:You can generally find most books at a cheaper price than the Coop...
The Australian Legal Guide to Citation is online. You will not need to buy it, you will just need to refer to it when you're finalising your essays and taking down references.
Well they shouldn't make students waste $15 by claiming it's a necessary textbook.GoodToGo said:Personally, I'd buy it. It's a pretty small investment that'll last you five years. Particularly handy for 2nd year.
Ah yes, the good ol' days when law was a cheap subject....iwannarock said:since when did you have to buy a textbook for jurisprudence.
back when i did it was just 2 course materials books.
ah well the subjects more like a philosophy course anyway.
im so scared of how much the textbooks are gonna cost for *gulp* 3 law subjects.MaryJane said:Ah yes, the good ol' days when law was a cheap subject....
Now, you need to apply for a bank loan to afford half the books (which you usually dont end up reading)!
Which units are you doing?iwannarock said:im so scared of how much the textbooks are gonna cost for *gulp* 3 law subjects.
i swear i dont even use them until essay time.
mine are all kept in mint condition.
equity was kept in its original wrapping til about week 9 of the semester.
all brand new with no highlighter marks in them or anything.
im selling them off to buy this years.
unless i carry out my defer uni until further notice plan.
trade practices......labour law........remedies.MaryJane said:Which units are you doing?
I managed to get remedies second hand for $80, so thats not too bad. Health law I had to buy the book because its the first time it has been used (but it was only $45). So all in all, this year is cheaper for me than last year :rofl:
I always sell my books... they are always in mint condition, too, for very similar reasons to you IWR... especially my const and admin. *shudders* So glad they are over!!
Ah, you're doing all those smart people units. Meanwhile, I cruise along on my medio-legal bent, but loving it!iwannarock said:trade practices......labour law........remedies.
hey how hard was it to get a waiver to do IT.
i have a friend wanting to do it. seems like many ppl want to do it this year. i don't know why they just can't wait til 5th year.
To be fair to her, it is quite a good book. It's very concise and to-the-point, and really just outlines all the jurists' views in plain English, which is of great help.dandel26 said:The damn book is written by the convening proffessor. I suppose it subsidies her income.......
Actually Trade Prac, Labour Law and Remedies are amongst the easiest units I've done in 400-500 level (with the exclusion of the Journal units).MaryJane said:Ah, you're doing all those smart people units. Meanwhile, I cruise along on my medio-legal bent, but loving it!
I decided to do IT next year, because I'm taking up some PSY units... I dont understand why people cant wait, either... It isnt going to change anything about their program. Although I do think its pretty odd the Faculty has a pre-req of a 400-level for a 400-level held in the same semester.
