Title: MKC1200 textbook 7ed vs 8ed
Post by: _avO on July 24, 2011, 07:52:49 pm
So i hear that the versions are practically the same and i found a bargain for the 7th edition on marketplace i'm just wondering if anyone here has used a previous version and still found it helpful in their studies

cheers :)

Sorry to hijack this thread but do you need the textbook for management?

the book is essential because all the questions asked in the exam are based on ur lecture notes (which are basically short summaries of their corresponding chapter in the prescribed book). also its a great source for your annotated bibliography assignment and the essay which make up 40% of the criteria

yeah the lectures are pretty useless unless u want to hear mediocre examples of how the theory is applied in the real world. the only plus side (not really) is that they give you an exam type question at the end of each lecture and if i recall some of them were on the exam in sem1. but you can get these questions off other ppl if you ask nicely on blackboard ;p
