My profs as usual put one copy of the text book in the reserve room at the library. There are no study tables or chairs in the reserve room- you abandon out the book for two hours, read or copy what you need, and then put it back. The fines for late returns are HUGE - like $2 per hour or something. Copyright law (where I get along) allows students to photocopy up to 10% of a textbook legally.

How do you go about getting college text books from a grant?
Aug 27, 2008 by HeathBad | Posted in Financial Aid
I'm successful out today to purchase college text books. I got a grant from my school but I don't know how I'm suppose to gain access to that grant. So how do I advance access to that grant to purchase my college text books?
The grant-in-aid funds were (or will be) paid directly to your student account. Your school will apply those funds to your bill - if there is money left over after it's applied to education and fees, you can also apply those funds to your bookstore purchases.
Different schools have different procedures for applying pecuniary aid to bookstore purchases. Some financial aid offices require you to stop by the office and pick up a voucher that you simply workman over at the bookstore when you check out with your books. Other schools are set up so that the cashier at the bookstore can immediately confirm that you are a financial aid recipient, and they'll just research your student ID and you'll be on your way.
My advice is to check with financial aid - or the bookstore - and just ask them how your school's procedure works. Just go forwards and give the bookstore a call - I bet they can answer the question for you, before you even head over there.
Good luck - I hope that helped. Enjoy your first semester!

Can any of you recommend some good strategies to extract the most important information from the texts without actually reading all the chapters brief conversation for word?
I commonly outlined all my college material. I found writing it (rather than just highlighting) was a good learning process. Then I outlined my contour onto flash cards for studying. I also made graphs and charts...the visual picture came back to me during tests. You might also want to look into some help reading tips to make reading faster overall.

You should take notes down while you pore over. Then add stuff in from after you've finished and even put some pictures down if you need to. Class notes are always good to use to.Also, this always works for me, make glossary cards. Notation down a word on a piece of paper of a card (make the size around 12cm by 8cm, or 5 inches by 3 inches) then write its definition on the back. There serenely to carry around and a great way to revise during spare time or before class.
Most importantly, don't try cramming facts and what you've just present. Take it slow,read it, re-read it and sort of memorise it. It's much more affective.
