I used https://www.textbookrentals.com/ to locate my book rental. I don't recall having access to the syllabus until just a day or two prior to the course starting.
Thanks. I'd already discovered this so I knew I needed the edition that was indicated on the site. I'm pretty sure I'll be renting my copy as well.

Once you get access to the syllabus you'll also get access to a pdf 'calendar/schedule' - it is truly only a vague guide on timeline (ie: when it says "week three" X,Y,Z is due - it doesn't explain that Y is due Monday, Z is Wednesday and X on Sunday night). This almost caught me for a fail a few times, as the professor I had didn't update the TRUE course E-Calendar often until a day before the week started, and sometimes after it started. Once he updated it and something was due that day (posted at 3pm, due by midnight - all on a Tuesday, while the pdf calendar indicated it would be due at the end of week, Sunday). So in summary, my advice is - Check the E-calendar, and check it often - no matter which professor you have, and try to be ahead for the weekly assignments as best you can and you'll do great.
That is helpful. One of the reasons I want the syllabus is so I can plan ahead and either start my readings early or at least put my calendar together so I know what I need to have done by when.
FYI, how big of a time requirement does the capstone entail? I'll probably be finishing up the last 1-2 study.com courses at the same time, so I'm a bit concerned about time constraints.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
