I'm trying to remember a course in my prerequisite work that I took for which they were not necessary, and I just can't.
I have been shocked that Ole Miss professors assign homework/prep reading for the first day of class. You cannot wait to purchase your books unless you are certain that you are dropping the class that first week.
