| You find your section number (Some classes say "all sections," which means all | ||
| sections use the same books) | ||
| Your book(s) will be right above the card indicating your course number on the shelf | ||
| Sometimes a professor will not report to the bookstore what book he/she is using. In | ||
| this case you need to wait until the first day of class to find out. | ||

| will supply you with a list of textbooks for the class on the syllabus. The bookstores | ||
| will receive the book list before classes begin. | ||
