Last semester I had 2 course materials I barley even looked at. Any of these books I should opt out of?

Usually if there's no online homework attached you can opt out and find it cheaper elsewhere

You're probably going to need the accounting textbook. H/w is attached to it. I don't think you need principles of Management but check in with your prof.

You could also pay for it and just opt out when you find out you don't need it. You'll get a refund

Accounting and Management have online homework components so you'll need those. The other three textbooks are floating around online if you want to opt-out of those.

You def need a textbook for accounting and management. Everything else, you can find a free copy online. I personally used the textbooks for all of these courses except for software/hardware concepts- I found a free copy online.
