Did you keep all of your text books and literature? I have so much stuff now, literally boxes of it and I'm only half way through my degree. I know some people sell it or donate it but I annotate all over the place, write notes, highlight and draw the odd willy/pair of boobs when I'm really concentrating hard so can't think of anything else to do but recycle all the books I've collated so far. Any ideas? Did you keep yours?
I have kept all mine, despite protests everytime we move house. Not sure why though.
Yep, same here have all my Uni notes (1st Degree) and all the stuff from 2/3 of an OU degree which I started when I was bored many moons ago.
Kept the bits I thought might be useful, binned the rest.
For my accountancy studies I binned all of it when I passed - it changes so frequently that there was little point in keeping it.
text books I kept. almost all my files were on computer so I kept these. I haven't bothered to keep the paper files
Half way through my degree and I've kept everytrhing.
Someone I work with is about to start a Level 1 course that I did and I couldn't bring myself to sell him the text books that I'd had for it.
Put an advert up at the local colleges, or on freecycle, to pass them on.
I suppose I could be selective and just keep the books I'll maybe find useful one day in the future. Just seems such a lot to have around, I only have a teeny tiny house and two big boxes of coursework isn't easy to find a home for. I don't like to throw them but don't think anyone would be able to use them, they're too scribbled over
