If you want to remain current with the material and don't have the book, you
could find out what the material is about and read a Wikipedia or do some
sort of other research so you are knolledgible about the topic. Then you can
get the chapter and read it afterwords. This isn't a perfect solution, but I
have used it with history. Granted, there may be more graphics with bio, but
at least in my honors biology class I didn't need to use pictures as more of
a supplementary source.

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone would know of some way to fix a problem I'm having
with one of my textbooks.  I get text files of each chapter emailed to me
from the Office of Learning Resources.  I am taking biology 101 this
semester, and for some reason that book isn't done yet.  My disability
coordinator sent me the first 7 chapters of the book so I could have a good
start.  The first chapter file was fine, but when I opened the second to do
my pre-lecture for chapter 2 it appeared that the office had hurried and
scanned the book 2 pages at a time rather than 1.  This file is unusable
because parts of sentences from side-by-side pages are jumbled together.  I
have already sent an email asking for the chapter and another from the batch
that was the same way to be redone propperly and sent to me as soon as
possible, but the pre-lecture for that chapter is due tomorrow in class.  I
have also already asked my professor for an extension should I need to use
it, and I have also had issues with the online course management not showing
resources she says she can see on her account fine.  I have asked the office
to look into it as an accessibility issue, or to see if something is wrong
with my account.

I would like to just get the pre-lecture done if I can though, so I was
wondering if anyone would happen to know of a way I could somehow separate
the 2 side-by-side pages so I can get the chapter in order?
I have not heard of a way to do this myself, but would really appreciate it
if someone had a potential solution I could use so I don't fall behind in
the first week of the semester.
