titianmom Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi all to those who have actually used the course: Can you give me some ans/input on this course? Is it a stand-alone course? Can it be used for a Jr/Sr in HS vs lower grades? Too weak or ok for a comp & rhetoric course at those grades?? What I'm hearing is people don't like Stobaugh because he doesn't explain things very well, for ex, how to actually org/write the papers, more info on the actual instructions, etc and people get lost trying to use his stuff. On the other hand, I also understand that people who watch the DVD where he explains how to use the course have no problem with the material (??) I'm assuming, also, that this is a year-long, 1 credit course. Thanks~ Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titianmom Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) I'm thinking of using it as a speech/comp class for HS but not at a freshman level. If Stobaugh doesn't give much instruction on writing, I plan to further my dd's writing skills, anyway, over the next couple of years (9th and 10th) so by Jr/Sr high, she should be pretty comfortable with writing at that point and it *shouldn't* matter about Stobaugh's lack of anything. And yes, I know it's supposedly for 7th-9th, but with all that reading and writing, I'd say it would be better for a Jr HS level class, perhaps. Unless I'm looking at an old book that was more intensive than the current book? Kim Edited April 19, 2010 by titianmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
