SailorMom Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm having an "Ahhhh!" moment. Hoping I just invested wisely for next year (10th grade). On EBay, I purchased Algebra 2, Chemistry, and Museum Masterpieces: The Louvre for $130.00. That is far cheaper than new, but it always kills me to spend over $100 at once, lol.... Anyone have experiences with one of these courses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 We have the Chemistry course, sigh. You need to be aware that this is NOT a complete high school chemistry course. You definitely need a real chemistry text and work through that; the TC course is merely a supplement. He focuses on few topics, mainly mathematical problem solving and explains everything extremely slowly and and with much repetition. It is probably a good remedial resource, but rather painful for a strong science student. I am sorry that this is the only TC course of the many I own about which I have nothing positive to say. I am sure the Louvre one will be fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I have only watched the Museum Masterpieces class on the Louvre. I enjoyed it a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well - it hadn't even occurred to me to use them as stand alone curricula, lol :) I'm getting Foerster for Algebra 2 and probably Oak Meadow for Chemistry - but I like having lectures to go along with them. Too bad the Chem is slow - but the mathematical aspect is most likely what I'll need help teaching, so that works out well. Jilly - glad to know you enjoyed the Louvre :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
