Hi Sayboom,
It's good that you asked. I would check for the required edition on the MBS website and order my books through a cheaper source (amazon, half.com...etc). IMO, having the correct edition does matter on courses. I was told otherwise in the beginning; that you could purchase an edition behind to save money. This is not always a good idea because the textbook cases change so do facts that could be used on quizzes/exams. It's best to have your books available before course begins. Access to the course is usually given a few days prior to the official start date. He should start checking on the 19-20th. The weeks are Monday-Sunday, the first written assignment is usually due the first Sunday. If an OL course discussion posts can be as early as Wednesday.
