Nscribe Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I am not well versed in Notgrass specifically (have really only skimmed over it at the bookstore), but would be concerned about attempting all of World History in a single year. To do so would really have to be very shallow and even then move at a brisk pace. Dd is finishing a 2 year World History course this year, and it was a full two years. There are many rich parts and pieces we would have enjoyed and benefited from spending more time exploring. It could be done in a year, but it would be very thin.

suzielou Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 We are using America the Beautiful this year and absolutely love it! I have already looked ahead to the World History. Based on the time it takes my son to complete the middle school course (1.5-2hrs per day), I am very confident about the high school levels (I have already started collecting the books for those levels!). We were recommended Notgrass by a friend who was then using the high school courses. They estimate the time spent on the World History course to be 2-3 hours each day and counts it as 3 credits (History, Lit/Composition, and Bible.) I have also heard of people using it and then passing the AP exam. If you need the credit for Government and have the time, I think it is possible.

TechWife Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I don't see a reason why a student couldn't do these courses simultaneously. If you are planning on combining them for one credit by leaving material out, I don't think that's a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Definitely. Just do them as totally separate classes. 1 credit for World History and 1/2 for Government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
