HappyGrace Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Have I missed a thread about it? It looks SOOO good. Dd13 and I have been watching the sample each night and we LOVE it. She actually hurried with her chores so she could watch it as a "reward"! For those who don't know, it is a Self-Paced online video course for Omnibus I. We did think the multiple choice questions in the Exodus sample were too easy (only one obvious choice) but that was our only complaint. What is everyone thinking about it? My linky isn't working-just go to the Veritas home page and it links you to samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaLisa Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We tried to watch the night they came out when the site was loading s o s l o w l y because of the traffic. I liked what I saw, but I need to go back and watch all of the samples. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle My Bell Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What grade is this for and how much is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 The samples are for Omnibus 1 - their 7th grade course. The Omnibus courses go all the way up to 12th but this is the 1st level. I believe the course is $295 but there is a group buy special now for $195. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perogi Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Wow! Definitely keeping my eye on this for our future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mothergooseof4 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So, who is using this, and how are you liking it? Would you REALLY recommend it for a 7th grader? I watched one of the demos and it seemed like it would be over my 7th grader's head. I am considering it for him after we finish Notgrass ATB, which will be mid-8th grade.

74Heaven Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I am newly considering this. The special price is through the end of June. Any other comments? I am actually comparing this Omnibus Primary with MFW AHL. I really am torn. I was all set to buy AHL but now I see this and I wonder: __Is Bruce Etter interesting - does he hold the student's attention? __How often would the student watch the lecture? __How much time would it take (Omnibus Primary) on a daily basis? __How much discussion is there with student/parent? (same as without the videos?) __How would it differ from MFW AHL? __Anyone else want to tell me what they think? Lisa J - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfishcookin Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I found that the background "electronic" music was very distracting during his lectures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Heaven Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 bump. Anyone have some feedback? The lecture we watched, (one of the ones we watched?) Gilgamesh, I didn't find Etter to be as engaging as I hoped? I'm sure he's a fine teacher, I just wondered if my distractible children would stay focused?
