Open your newly-purchased texts now!

My university starts classes next Monday.  Many of my students have probably purchased their texts by now.  (Yes, I know, they're expensive!  I hate that too.) Will any of them open the books to see what's inside, before the class starts?  Sadly, not many. If you're serious about your GPA and your education in a larger sense, you should open each text now and read a little, enough to get a sense of what's going to be covered in your courses.  Maybe something in one of them will confuse you, and you can ask about it at the first class.  That'll be a great way to impress the professor, whicih never hurts!
