OnMyOwn Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I was just poking around their website and saw that this will be available this August. Thought I'd pass the info along because I know there are some here who were hoping for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thank you so much for this reminder. Frankly, I'm a bit annoyed with the job they do of keeping their customers informed. I missed out on the geometry upgrade a while back and had to buy the 2.0 at full freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have the first version of this, but my oldest ended up taking a class at the CC instead. My next dc will be using it for pre-calc this year. If you've already used the first version of this, do you think it would be worth spending another $92 to upgrade? I'm mostly concerned that the "instant" corrections could lead to laziness and lack of retention. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 FWIW, my kids have done extremely well with the upgraded version. The upgraded features do not seem to have caused any problems with laziness or lack of retention, but instead, have kept them involved and interested. I know that many don't consider TT a rigorous course, but for my "non-mathy" students, it's been great, and has given great results on SAT. Happy day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopmom Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 It's about time! We decided to switch to DO anyways, but yeah, it would be nice if they let past customers know. I had emailed them about it several times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I looked on the website. It has an index! Wow, that may be worth the extra money for an upgrade right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobeatenpath Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I had emailed them about it several times as well. I have emailed them about another issue more than once and never had a reply. I have to say their customer service is really very poor. Which is a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've had very good experiences when calling them. They do seem to be slow to respond to emails. Also, when a response is finally sent, the sender name doesn't say "Teaching Textbooks." It just shows the name of the employee responding, so it's easy to think it's spam and delete it without opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyOwn Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yes, I have had a good experience when I called them about a defective disk. Yesterday, I received an e-mail notifying me that the new precalc version was available, along with info about upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I've always gotten a quick response via email, and they have been helpful over the phone. I got an email this weekend about the pre-order :) The timing couldn't have been better for us. Last kid doing their senior year math class. We've been used to the self-grading programs, and I was dreading moving to the old version for this last book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
