Well Peter and Michael, I guess you have not experienced the change from
one edition to the next in homework problems. I had a time consuming term
when I answered yes to the edition question and then had to participate in
the the mapping of homework problems from one edition to the next. Never
again. Just say NO. KB

Is it OK if I use an earlier edition of the text for the course?
Of course it depends on how much earlier. But, students usually ask
that kind of question with reference to a text that may be just a year or
two earlier than its latest edition. Surely everyone knows that the
discipline of Psychology does not change in one or two years enough to
justify new editions--except to meet the publishers' projected sales.
What changes in a year or two in the Nth 'new' edition are the
photographs, pretty colors, and other related (well, really, remotely
related) bells and whistles. For many years I made it a custom to say
'yes' to that question, and advised (all) the students not to buy the
additional paraphernalia. Peter
