kids&me Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Can anyone give a review of the VP Self-Paced Omnibus course. I am considering the SP Omnibus III Secondary for literature this year, but I am reluctant to buy before I've heard any reviews. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheriGene Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My dd did O1 primaries this year. There is a benefit of having a teacher who really knows the subject matter and seeing historical places where they are filming on location. That last part is probably not so much a factor with O III secondaries. I did the course mostly side-by-side with my dd to get a feel for if I could teach next year myself. (Omnibus has been intimidating to me.) The games for reinforced learning got on my nerves a little. There were also lots of computer glitches. Maybe it was because we were using Safari, and they recommended using Firefox. There are no required writing assignments unless you require them and grade them yourself. There is also no discussion, but you can pay for a separate discussion class if you don't want to do it yourself. All grading was done with multiple choice quizzes, and multiple choice mid-term and final. No books or any part of the lessons can be skipped. You are locked out until you complete each and every portion. Overall I would recommend the class. They should have a few lessons online for you to see for free.
