What is the difference between prescribe texts and recommended texts?

According to the university, prescribed texts are ones that you need to get while recommended texts are just supplementary. But, in my experience, some prescribed texts you don't even need to buy! - you can rely on borrowing the books from the library and perusing the relevant sections.

You should probably wait for your lecturer's advice on what to buy.

Do people usually buy both their semester 1 and 2 books, or just semester 1 first?

My.monash booklist is up. It only has two of my subjects. I presume they're going to update it. But just so Monash people know :)

ECC1100

Well, it'll b a v. cheap 1st semester 4 me this year.

I've still got Yookoso 1 from last year (same edition), and Economics 5ed + MyEconLab stuff coz I needed it 4 micro last semester.

I've got the 2008 version of the CPA Accounting Handbook, but I'm not gonna bother updating coz it's only recommended anywayz... I figure I can jst read a library copy 4 any sections that r majorly different.

I will, however, use my $50 book voucher to purchase the Macro study guide.
The voucher was a random prize 4 completing an online Monash survey, and I found the Micro version of the study guide 2 b really helpful last semester.

I'm curious tho... there's no txtbook 4 1st year acc+finance... there was when it was jst straight acc, and now they've restructured it 2 include finance but no txtbook... Weird.
Yay 4 being a lab rat! XD
