Gratia271 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Can anyone tell me whether this is a program worth purchasing? If so, does format matter? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIch elle Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'm on lecture 47 out of 48 lectures of Western Civilization II. I bought the DVD's because I like to see the maps, footage, and pictures. There aren't that many but enough that I think that the DVD's are worth it. Remember only buy TCC when on sale! I've watched some of WC I DVD's from the library, and it's excellent as well. Did you find a science program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS in MD Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hi Nancy, I haven't used these before, but the TC DVDs are on sale, so yesterday I purchased Western Civ II (I wanted to buy Western Civ I as well, but dd is studying that time period now... and even though I was tempted, it will end up on the shelf!) It got good reviews online... hoping it will be engaging... I am considering using it as primary viewing for my 9th grader... but may add in Omnibus III (dd loves history)... Sorry can't be much help, if you need the discount code I can give it to you. HTHs, Sangita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find a science program? Hi MIch elle, I just purchased Western Civ II. Now I'm trying to decide how to use it! LOL! Are you using them or your dc? Did you add a text? If your dc is using the dvds, do they answer any questions/essays? Thanks SO much, Sangita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithr Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I am using Foundations of Western Civ I right now. I also used it several years ago with my older kids. We loved/love it! We are also reading Susan Wise Bauer's History of the Ancient World. I haven't been asking my son to do any essays but he is required to take notes and I watch the lecture with him and we discuss things and often look stuff up afterwards to dig deeper.
