Martha in VA Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I can hardly contain myself! Which ones are favorites for Ancients?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinTea Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I went on their site to check this out and could only find where some of them are on sale for 70%. Maybe there's special coupon code? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha in VA Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 OK, maybe I goofed. They sent me an email. I guess it's not a public sale? So sorry!:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinTea Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Hey, that's okay. :001_smile: And your post did accomplish something; I just started an account with them so maybe I'll still get the sale notification. I will get any others though so thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkInTheBlue Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Oh yes, I just got my email too!! I've enjoyed my DVDs so much already. I see real danger in this sale...LOL! It's definitely worth getting an account even if you don't get this sale email now. I did order at the same time I set up my account the first time but the emails, notifications and extra site features have been truly worth it!

Julie in MN Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Which ones are favorites for Ancients?? I've been listening (watching while I fold laundry etc) to Eliz. Vandiver talk about Homer. I've found her very easy to listen to, with some interesting points, and quite respectful of all views she brings up. Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarrow Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Teaching Company and two different websites popped up - one was http://www.teach12.com and the other was http://www.thegreatcourses.com. Which one is correct - they both look similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corraleno Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I can hardly contain myself! Which ones are favorites for Ancients?? If you post the "Priority Code" at the bottom of the email, then everyone can benefit. :001_smile: Here are 2 Coupon Codes that are currently working: YNBZ = free shipping, should be good until 7/15 HKXM = $20 off any order over $100 (not sure when this expires, it didn't list a date in my email) Priority Code 46937 = 70% off all modern history courses, expires Wed 6/30 IME, you can always combine at least one priority code and one coupon code, but sometimes they don't let you stack two coupon codes.

Corraleno Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Which ones are favorites for Ancients?? Bob Brier's Egypt courses are fantastic. DS loved the 12-lecture course (Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt) so much he insisted we get the long course (History of Ancient Egypt) as well. I think 48 lectures on Egypt is a LOT for most kids, though, unless they're really interested in the subject. Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt is just the right length, and incorporates a great deal of general history and culture (the lectures aren't just biographies). Plus it's quite inexpensive.

elegantlion Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Teaching Company and two different websites popped up - one was www.teach12.com and the other was www.thegreatcourses.com. Which one is correct - they both look similar. I noticed this too. The products are the same, but the prices can be different for sale items. The last sale they had I noticed cheaper prices on the great courses site. :confused: Why are there two sites? Marketed to different audiences?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitilin Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Kinda OT, but does anyone know how the Modern Scholar stuff compares to TTC? My library carries a large number of the MS, but none of TTC; I am wondering if the quality is comparable? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I really would like to buy Masterworks of American Art, but at $254... Does anyone know if this will go on sale? Does anyone know anything about this course? Is it appropriate for high school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caraway Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I really would like to buy Masterworks of American Art, but at $254... Does anyone know if this will go on sale? Does anyone know anything about this course? Is it appropriate for high school? They say that each course goes on sale at least once a year. They are always having special deals and sales. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People post their codes all the time, it's not "breaking the rules" or anything — hundreds of people get those codes, they're not just a special deal for one person. They just send different codes to different groups of people at different times. I had a "70% off every course" code a couple of weeks ago and posted it here, along with a free shipping code, and others posted $20 off and $30 off coupon codes.

Emma Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Ok. Thanks! I will PM her. Does anyone know anything about this course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Oh, man, I got a 70% of Modern, which is useless to me. Anyone want to post the 70% off everything; I want to get the Iliad and Odyssey courses and something math-related. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Kinda OT, but does anyone know how the Modern Scholar stuff compares to TTC? I did a Google search.

Martha in VA Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Here's the priority code for the current sale: priority code 46956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in MN Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 it's not "breaking the rules" or anything — :iagree: According to their FAQ, the sale prices are the way they do business: When and why do courses go on sale? Every course we make goes on sale at least once a year. This revolving sales approach allows us to provide you with great value and great service. Producing large quantities of only the sale courses keeps our manufacturing and inventory costs down, and we pass the savings on to you.

Vida Winter Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks for posting the codes - I just used the audio downloads code 46996 combined with a $20 off $100 HKXM to get four courses for around $95.
