Any downside to buying instructor edition of textbook?

[overst33r]

I expect it has the same information plus the answers in it as the student edition...

The book is Physics for Scientists and Engineers for my physics 2048 class.

Anybody take this course? What did you think about the course? Anything to look out for? How was the exam? Do I even need the book?

I took that class. it was really easy. I'd skip the book. If you ever need one, just borrow your neighbors. oh, and I have a copy of all the old tests if you want them

The instructor editions normally have ALL the answers to the problems, along with suggested methods on teaching certain topics. It may be beneficial for you to pick the book up.

OP....got your PM. I was obviously screwing with you as you didn't even tell us where you go to school before asking if we took the same class. Sorry, can't send you the tests.

If it costs more than the student edition + answer book, don't buy it.

You can find the instructor's manual on some p2p networks.
