Excelsior! Academy Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Not much help as I've never used Omnibus, but I've looked into it. I'm curious, so I thought I'd bump for you. I thought Omnibus counted for more than one credit. Three, maybe? English, History, and Literature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphabetika Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I thought literature *was* an English credit.:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshell Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yes, Omnibus does count for 3 credits....( Lit, History & theology) So, I want to count my Omnibus Literature...as one full credit. Most English credits are 1/2 yr Lit..& 1/2 yr writing..... I do not want the Omnibus lit to count only as 1/2 credit.....it is too much work. So, that leaves BJU Writing & Grammar...I had planned this to be my English credit. But, BJU counts this course as .5 credits.....the other 1/2 being their Literature course. So, what else can I use to fill up my English credit? Any ideas? Here's what I thought about using...? BJU Writing & Grammar, IEW SICC-C , & Wordly Wise.. I think this may be enough.?

Chris in VA Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Omnibus contains writing exercises--essays, discussions, progymnasmata, among other things like lit analysis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in VA Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Omnibus contains writing exercises--essays, discussions, progymnasmata, among other things like lit analysis. It does. I personally believe this is sufficient to make the English credit of writing/literature. I do Classical Writing because I love the way it teaches the skills to write effective arguments. Last year we did CW Herodotus which is a full year course and a significant amount of work. I gave an extra composition credit for it. For our remaining 3 years, I will not do so. CW Plutarch and the two years of Demosthenes are 15 week courses (each year) so they will simply be part of the 1 English credit received for Omnibus.

cshell Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) I just spoke to BJU... They said my plan to use BJU Writing & Grammar 9 & IEW SICC_C & Wordly Wise sounds super! They basically said their writing program is .5 credits...& the IEW SICC-C & Wordly Wise will add plenty of time & work for the full credit! ps....Yesterday.....I received the same confirmation from someone at Veritas Press. Whew!!! This is all good news to my little ears!!!:iagree: Edited August 25, 2010 by cshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswhitfield21 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 We use Classical Writing with Omnibus. Heather I am planning on using Classical Writing with Ominbus as well. Do you assign the writing assignments in Omnibus? It seems like it would be too much along with CW... Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
