PASS your first year :)
My advice is to focus on your lecture notes. Do not overreading different text books!
Reasons
Reasons
- You won't have time for it
- You get confused when you are first attempt to study on an unfamilar degree
- You get over stressed about not passing the exams because you may worry you have loads to read on and you forget
- Your lecturer is the one marking your exam paper so why not just focus on what he/she told you in the lecture?
- Some lecturers speak english as their 2nd language so they do not accept/ understand anything not in their lecture handouts :P ( it's only based on my option. I am not an english native speaker so I know how it feels when I can only understand my own english )
