[nabs-l] Need Advice: Environmental Science Course

[Tina Hansen]

This fall, I will be taking an environmental science course at my local community college. There are two concerns I have, and I was wondering if anyone out there has taken this kind of course before, and how you may have addressed them.

1. I did the research about the textbook I need, and discovered that RFB&D has the previous eddition, but not the one my instructor is asking everyone to get. If you've been in this situation before, how have you addressed this issue?

2. Lab work. I know that there is going to be a lab in this course, and I am not willing to have it waved. If you've done lab work for a course like this, what have you done to make sure you're able to participate?

Thanks in advance for any advice you might have on these concerns.
