What to Buy
The links on this page are Amazon Affiliate links, aka commissioned links. The price doesn’t change for you, but I might receive a commission based on a sale. These are, in fact, products I use and recommend.
At the time of writing this, I have not started, but this is the calculator “you will need.” C214 now uses Excel, but I have read that you still need the calculator. I will see!
At the time of writing this, I have not started. It is highly recommended that a whiteboard be used for tests. Some people swear it helps with jotting down notes and, of course, doing math. You can get a free small white board from the Owl’s Nest.
This is the board I got. It is double-sided and magnetic, and the little handle comes off. The markers suck but the board is great! I went with the 15.7x11. The policy doesn’t say a size under policy #19.
Optional: It might be good to get some good Dry Erase markers.
Optional: This is what I got. Black fine-tips that are magnetic with an eraser. There is also an eight-pack of assorted colors.

Rocketbooks:
Rocketbooks allow you to take notes, scan them to a FREE app (if you want), and then quickly erase the writing with a hand towel and water. So you can keep reusing the same book or note card repeatedly. This is usually something you either love or hate. I use these for work daily and love them. I plan on taking course notes and scanning them when I finish. After using the book or cards, you will see a slight indent impression, just to set your expectations.
Here are some of the products that I use.
If you want to scan your whiteboards, you can get Beacons. You put these orange triangles around anything, and you can quickly scan it into Rocketbook.
You might need a USB extender cable. When writing this, I do not take a proctor exam. From what I have read, the camera needs to be behind you.
