College students - how often do use your textbooks?

Question

I'm a senior in college (Economics major) and I can't seem to study without textbooks. They just help a lot if I can't understand something from the notes.

How often do you use yours?

Answer 1

Depends on the class.  Classes like history are reading intensive and textbook use is usually high; math too. But all teachers are different.

Overall, in College experience, I used my textbook in about 60% of my classes.  

Answer 2

i hardly use them. i spend so much money on them and they end up just sitting at home while im at school. i dont know why they are required when my teachers dont use them to teach???

Answer 3

every day, and my gpa is good...

Answer 4

i only use them when assignments need be done out of them

Answer 5

With some exception, I always used my texts quite a bit.  I always found it amusing when people stated they didn't even bother getting a text -- these are the same people who are fine with getting C's.  For me, I wanted nothing but A's and so did everything I could to give me that edge.
