[CHM 111] Textbooks - Again

[Andrew J. Pounds]

So the bookstore has THREE options for your text.

Burdge (4th edition) - Bound

Burdge (5th edition) - Looseleaf

Buedge (5th edition) - e-Text/Rental

The reason for this is that the textbook went into a new 5th edition in
the spring of this year so there are a lot of older 4th edition bound
texts floating around.  To save students money the textbook supplier is
now providing a lower cost looseleaf version of the NEW text as well as
a e-Text option.  This is pretty common -- I had to buy looseleaf books
for my daughter last year at her school.  Anyway the choice is entirely
up to you, BUT I will be assigning problems out of the 5th edition of
Burdge.

Also, some students go with the e-Text and then, after the first test,
realize that the e-text is not the best study tool for them because it's
not what they are accustomed to.  They then go back and purchase a
looseleaf or bound copy.  This is not always the case, but I have seen
this happen on several occasions.
