Probably access to some online stuff, as far as I know

For Chemistry last year, we had 'WILEYPlus' assignments every second week or so, these were online and contributed to your final mark
For Physics, we had 'MasteringPhysics' assignments every second week or so, these were online and also contributed to the final mark
I know Biology also has a 'MasteringBio' component

If you don't plan on buying a new book, don't worry, the Faculty will give you an access code

Probs a stupid question but just want to make sure
If there is no books list for a subject does that mean we don't need to buy anything for that subject or have the books not be finalised yet or something like that?
Thanks

You can with some texts, but you've got to get in early for those long-term loans. And sometimes they only allow this for older editions to, so watch out for that.
