  1. I could have written this post. +1 for the GPB materials.
  2. Have you considered offering it as an OER?
  3. Also... Dd has "found" a couple of homeschoolers at college by the AoPS Calc books they had on their desk. I said, "They brought them with them to college?!"
  4. Oh dear. It was a bit messy, lol. Definitely ask questions from all of us veterns. Most of us have "what we would do differently" advice. ETA. I just looked at some of my old posts. Oy. Dd has some eye tracking issues that were clearly a problem from the beginning. It would have saved us both some grief if I had pushed harder with the eye docs back then.
  5. We didn't use AoPS as much as imacs/EMF. Dd told me later that she wished we had done more of the EMF/imacs. I told her the computer wasn't up to more of her banging her head against it. 👀 (Geometry was just a textbook. Larson, I think). We always sort of had two math threads going at a time. Regular Math and Fun Math. Sometimes more of one than the other. Pretty sure nothing about The Geometry Year was fun, though.
  6. My college kiddo just kinda thanked me for making her do proofs. I’m pretty sure Geometry aged me 6 years… So “yay” for getting through the hard stuff when no one wanted to do it. :0)
  7. Not as different as you might think, especially with engineering, due to ABET accreditation. Transfer credit calculators are available for many schools (or even states).
  8. I agree that high school students should be writing essays, but most can't. Or very few can. I have taught college students who don't even write sentences well. I think I like the Writing book for this project. Since it is a one-off assignment, I'll focus on co-remediation, so a subset of the whole book. If I'm having fun, I might clone/ adapt the whole thing, It could be a solid "transition to essay writing" curriculum.
  9. In this case, no. It isn’t licensed for sharing. Thanks though!
  10. So I need to make a free-to-use Language Arts resource. I would love input from you all. I originally posted on the Logic Stage board, but it seems very quiet there. Here is my original post: I am taking a certification course around creative commons/ copyright. One of my final projects is to adapt something out of copyright or with an open copyright into a new free-to-use resource: "Find an open educational resource and adapt it to better serve your students/community." My initial thought was to create a remediation co-requisite work text for my university's communications and English courses. The material will be 7-9th grade, because those are skills missing for many of those students. But. Maybe this could serve more than one of my communities? When I was teaching co-op courses, there didn't seem to be much available in Logic stage for Language Arts, especially that is free to use. It seemed like there was a gap between about 6th grade and introductory college level. Is that still the case? What would you look for in a resource like that? Remember, this is an assignment to adapt something that exists, not create something new, so I would also love to hear about free resources you have found that are "almost" what you need. Thanks in advance!
  11. My dd had a good experience with a Russian course that they don't offer any longer.
  12. I liked Fable level just to get reluctant writers to put words on the page. After that, we usually went a different direction. Lots of good suggestions above.
  13. I haven't been on the Logic Stage board for a while. Hi. I feel old. I am taking a certification course around creative commons/ copyright.
