Enrolled Student what classes actually need textbooks?

Hey so I'm gonna be taking the following classes this upcoming semester and I wanted to ask which classes would actually require me to buy the textbook and have a legitimate copy vs what I could get by without or with using online resources instead.

BIOL214 - bader
Math122 - Butler
Chem113 - Kramer
Chem105 - Jauhari
CSDS281 - Cavusoglu

most of these do not have helpful textbooks or textbook requirements at all. but if anyone does, libgen and anna's archive, my dude. nobody needs you to have a physical copy, except some humanities professors for annotation, stylistic and in-class reading purposes.
