TESC courses & Books

[mrs.b]

I echo bricabrac. On the main TESC home page (Thomas Edison State College only, the link does not appear on most of the sub-pages), at the top in tiny print is Information for: Current Students... Click the Current Students link, scroll down to MBS Direct Book Store, find your term and classes, and get the ISBN numbers (or for the custom packages, collect all the info you can on the specific text, edition, publishing year, etc). You'll save hundreds of dollars by shopping them elsewhere, but have the correct editions which can be important. Some courses use the case studies - one of my current courses has - and as bricabrac said, case studies are one of the more likely pieces of information to change from one edition to another. Having an outdated edition may make it difficult to complete assignments. Shopping at ecampus, abebooks, amazon, Barnes & Noble (believe it or not, some of the books are reasonable through them if you need a guarantee that text inserts like CDs or supplement publisher inserts will be inside), or some of the various rental groups (I like cengagebrain) will save you a lot.
