Textbook websites • where you can find free ebooks, specified by subject. : buying textbooks → these are just tips based on what i’ve learned at uni!! • buy the books for classes you know you’ll not do well in. I didn’t know if i’d need my physics book for class or not, but i knew that i would struggle in it, so i got it anyways! It ended up that i needed it anyways, but i wanted it for supplemental reading material regardless of the requirement or not.

• wait until you get the syllabus OR the professor tells you if you’ll need the textbook for classes that you are familiar with and have a history of doing well in. They’ll usually tell you during the first class if you’ll need the textbook or not! For my gen chem class, i didn’t use the textbook at all; my professor told us at the beginning that we wouldn’t need it unless we wanted it as supplemental material. Same for my first bio class in college. But my physics class required the book, so i got it.

• do not buy textbooks brand new, or at all, unless you know you’ll need them for you entire college career! Rent your books!!

It’s so much cheaper and odds are you won’t need them for longer than 1 semester. I have never outright bought a book for any class in uni until this semester where i bought my organic chemistry textbook, used, from eBay. I bought it because that’s what i want to study in grad school so it’s gonna be useful in the long run. But other than that one, i’ve never bought a textbook for math, physics, english, etc.

I’ve always rented them because i get some pretty sweet deals from amazon as a purdue student! • find cheap places to get textbooks! Some professors will tell you to get old versions because they’re cheaper, but try to find the cheapest copy possible if you can. Download Program Calculux. Most of the time, you can actually find old versions on the internet for free; if you’re okay with reading off a computer screen, then you might want to do this if you have to pay for textbooks.

I’m lucky enough to have my parents help in paying for mine. Check out these posts for some more information on where to get textbooks for cheap or free: • by • by and others •. That preview post contained, which said this: Everything at the campus bookstore is marked up at least 50%. I was there today with my lady friend because she wanted a dry erase marker but didn’t want to go all the way out to Target, where they were on sale for $2 for a pack of 4.

The main theme of this book concerns understanding biological psychology, by which is meant not the learning of long. Figure 4.1: J. Pinel, adapted from figure 3.5 in Biopsychology, 4th ed. Figure 5.9: N. Carlson, adapted from figure 7.33, in Physiology of Behavior, 8th ed. London: Allyn & Bacon.

The campus bookstore had single dry erase markers for $2.50. For just one marker. If you try to sell your books back to them, you might get 10% of what you paid, if you’re lucky. And that $100 book they gave you $10 for?

They’ll turn around and sell for $90 next semester. They’re con artists.

You can easily get your books for pennies on the dollar or even for free if you spend as little as an hour looking for them online. In addition to the link to the full post, I also linked to my post about. Instead of walking to the campus bookstore and looking for the book then waiting in line for an hour, why not spend that time looking for the book online where you’ll save serious money? Go to the campus bookstore if you want to throw your money away. But if you want to cut back on your loans or start paying them early, avoid them at all costs.

You can find literally everything in the store at another store. Go to Amazon or even a local independent bookshop. Want a t-shirt? Believe me, local Walmarts and Targets carry college branded apparel. Even the grocery stores have football jerseys. Campus bookstores exist to profit off of naive students who don’t know they’re being scammed.

Don’t encourage them. • has some & has free shipping! I’ve never ordered textbooks off of here but all the books I have ordered arrived in good time & excellent condition! • can be a good place, just check the reviews & don’t forget to check the price of shipping • Check your local ad site. Students who have just finished may be advertising to get rid of their old textbooks, & it’s a great chance to get yourself a bargain textbook!

Or check bulletin boards around college as some students may post they’re selling a book there! Automation of factories is a good example. We can drastically cut back on labor hours and at least strengthen the possibility of a functional communism, which is okay with me. And with anarchy, I expect a lot of educational material (college textbooks, academic studies, etc) to be available for much cheaper or even free; science, philosophy, art, and many other things will be readily available to us. The internet will be very important in that goal – advanced downloadable material about any subject available at the click of a button. Tight as fuck in my humble opinion.

Ideas come first. Well, really, the first thing is: what excites you? It doesn’t matter if it’s a character, a twist, a concept, or just a single moment.

The thing you’re looking at and cannot wait to drop on your audience. It’s the one thing that will drive you to commit to the project, and will carry you through the parts that tie it all together. Once you’ve found that, you should have an idea of where to start. Everything else is negotiable. A formal pattern would be: concept, lit review, preliminary plotting, research, plot refinement, write, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite, rewrite call it close enough to done, rewrite again.

Concept is easy: I want to write this. At this stage it’s fairly nebulous. You can probably scribble out a concept in a single paragraph.

And almost any writing prompt you’ve seen falls into this general category. This is just having the idea. Lit review is where the work starts. You need to go out, find other material in the genre, read it, and start building a comprehensive idea of what the genre you’ve just waded into really looks like. This isn’t always a necessary step.

If you’re a hard core sci-fi fan, then a lit review of space operas probably isn’t going to be that useful, because you already know what you’re looking. But, if you’re wandering into new territory, this is absolutely vital, because you will learn new things about the genre. You should keep an eye on what works and what doesn’t in the genre as you’re going.

This will help you avoid easy mistakes, and will help a lot. Preliminary plotting has probably already started. You might have actually started this when you were building the concept. So if this is already done, you can move on. This boils down to, I have characters that do these things.

You might only have a vague idea of what happens along the way or where they’re going, but you should have an idea of where your story starts. This is probably where you’ll start to get a handle on your characters. You might have had some concepts for them already, but after your lit review, you should have a vague idea of who you want in your story. You’ll probably keep refining them through the entire process, and research will tell you a lot about who they should, or would, be. Research is a lot like the lit review, it’s work, and you probably started doing research during your lit review.

This is going to be very dependent on your preliminary plotting and what you learned during your lit review. One piece of advice about research: buy your books and keep them.

Enya Rar there. You never know when a stray book on Arthurian lit or a history text on Mesoamarica will suddenly become relevant to what you’re doing right now. Also, if you’re in college, keep your textbooks. I know it’s basically free money, but good ones can be incredibly valuable resources later on. Being a writer requires being a book hoarder.

Also, I know I put this in a linear order, but, research never ends. You do the research you want before you start, but throughout the project you’ll keep hitting points where you need to go back in. Again, if you still have the books from earlier they’re still available as resources. Plot refinement can be just nailing down the order of things in your head before you start, or it can be sketching out a formal outline. It depends on what works best for you. Because, as they say, “writing is rewriting.” The hard part here isn’t actually finishing, it’s knowing when to stop. Once you get going, odds are you’ll never be completely satisfied with what makes it to the page.

But, if you don’t check yourself on this, you can easily end up spending ten years revising a project to death. Don’t do that. Obviously, you can rearrange these however works for you. Generally speaking your lit review and research will inform things about the story you’re trying to tell, closing off options and opening new ones, so they should come first.

But, honestly, if you have something you need to get on the page, do it. You can always clean it up, fix it, or feed it to a grue later. Two things to grab: Steven King’s. I’ll admit, I’m not a huge fan of King, but his advice here is excellent. King recommends of reading Strunk and White’s.

Synopsis: Pinel clearly presents the fundamentals Biopsychology and makes the topics personally and socially relevant to the reader. The defining feature of Biopsychology is its unique combination of biopsychological science and personal, reader-oriented discourse. Rather than introducing biopsychology in the usual textbook fashion, it interweaves the fundamentals of the field with clinical case studies, social issues, personal implications, and humorous anecdotes. It tries to be a friendly mentor that speaks directly to the reader, enthusiastically relating recent advances in biopsychological science.

Note: This is the standalone book, if you want the book/access card order the ISBN below: / 956 Biopsychology with NEW MyPsychLab and Pearson eText Package consists of: / 513 NEW MyPsychLab with Pearson eText -- Valuepack Access Card / 569 Biopsychology About the Author: John Pinel, the author of Biopsychology, obtained his Ph.D. From McGill University in Montreal and worked briefly at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, before taking a faculty position at the University of British Columbia, where he is currently Professor Emeritus. Professor Pinel is an award-winning teacher and the author of over 200 scientific papers. However, he feels that Biopsychology is his major career-related accomplishment. “It ties together everything I love about my job; students, teaching, writing, and research.” Pinel attributes much of his success to his wife Maggie who is an artist and professional designer. Over the years, they have collaborated on many projects, and the quality of Biopsychology’s illustrations is largely attributable to her skill and effort.
