You can try this out later on just before the semester starts:

https://www.bookshop.unsw.edu.au/

However if you wanted to grab the textbooks that were used last year for the same course (they archive it), go to the bookshop whenever you like and ask them what prescribed textbooks were previously used. Note that there is a chance that it won't be your prescribed textbook however for when you do the course.

Anyone 2nd years know which textbook you had to use for ECON1101?

Also, does it even use a textbook or do we mainly receive notes/lectures?

Principle of Microeconomics
Another good way is to go to jekkle.com.au to find out

For ECON1101, the course is very centred around the textbook and homework is assigned from it so you need to buy it.

For MATH1151, no need for the textbook.

For FINS1613, I didn't find the textbook useful and you really just need MyFinanceLab (if the lecturer is the same and homework is still those online quizzes).

I didn't need to do ACCT1501 and I haven't done MGMT1001 yet.

I have the 6th edition by Gregory, would that suffice?

huh? according to my research, 3rd edition is latest. here - http://www.jekkle.com.au/textbooks/...con1101/principles-of-microeconomics-3ed.html

Also, guys, according to my research, the textbook 'Principle of Microeconomics' is only used in ECON1101 right?

 

[mreditor16]

MATH1151 - Calculus One & Several Variables (altho everyone says its shit and not worth the money) + Course Pack (where do u get this from? what does it include? I heard its good!)

ACCT1501 - Financial Accounting - An Integrated Approach

ECON1101 - Principles of Microeconomics

MGMT1001 - Managing Organisations & People

Yeah, dw, you're right.

Anyone have any tips for studying the subject though? I didn't do a single humanity during HSC, only maths and sciences lol.

From what I hear these are the PRESCRIBED textbooks. Any recommendations on SUPPLEMENTARY textbooks/resources for these courses?
