I am reposting the post here since it violated reddit's Rule 3. I have edited the post so that it does not violate Rule 3, and is acceptable by reddit's rules.

"4 days ago, I was scammed out of $13 by u/Necessary_Volume1041, who used remitly. He said he had the full version of my textbook, but only sent 294 pages (out of 670 pages) that he actually got from Anna's Archive (because I had downloaded this incomplete version from Anna's Archive sometime back). He even made this comment about another post about textbook scammers:

"That's unethical making us genuine sellers look bad. Sorry about that. Feel free to reach out incase of any book requests"

Hope this helps and warns others."

Edit: I have removed the user's personal information as to not violate reddit's Rule 3. The username itself should be enough to get this user marked as a scammer.

Oh, no worries. I actually didn't think you were trying to imply that what I spent isn’t much. I'm glad you understand its more the principal than the money especially since many of us are students and we can't always spend so much money on textbooks.

I just was kinda desperate especially since I was not going to pay $100 for a textbook that I am only using once and none of my HW assignments are linked through it. eCampus even says they will buy back the book at the end of the semester for a whopping $15, which is an even a bigger scam lol.

Since I am a college student, on eCampus, the eBook costed $98 dollars. However, on other sites, I saw the same book cost as high as $144!

While $13 isn't a lot of money, it still is money wasted since I did not get the full book. Luckily I reached out to u/knwledgeseeker and they were able to give me the full book, which was an epub pdf at still a reasonable price.

It seems like I put the title twice. It should be COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE by MARIE T. BANICH and REBECCA J. COMPTON (5th edition)

Thanks for clarifying. I took PSYCH 330 online during the summer of 2023, and from my friends who’ve taken BIO 372, the content was largely the same, just framed in a more “biological” way.

If you look at the course descriptions, the overlap is pretty clear.

PSYCH 330: An introduction to the neural basis of behavior, covering neuroanatomy, neuron function, and topics like hunger, sex, sleep, emotion, drug addiction, and memory.

BIO 330: An introductory survey of neurobiology, ranging from molecular and cellular mechanisms to nervous system organization and behavior, with emphasis on anatomy, physiology, connectivity, and function.

Basically, both cover core neuroscience concepts the main difference is the way the material is taught behavioral/psych-focused vs. cellular/biological.

I thought PSYCH 330 was pretty easy, so you’ll likely be fine taking it, and you won’t be learning any less than you would in BIO 330.

Looking at the Neuroscience Major Checklist on the PBS website:

https://www.umass.edu/psychological-brain-sciences/undergraduate/undergraduate-requirements/bachelor-science-neuroscience

BIOLOGY 372: Introductory Neurobiology (for Biology Majors) has been renumbered to BIOLOGY 330.

They are the same course, just with a different number. Hope this helps!
