Janeway Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I had planned for us to do Derek Owens this fall for precalculus. However, with husband earning a lot less, I am wondering if perhaps I should switch over and have us do Math Without Borders. I am also open to other people's suggestions. Thanks!

emzhengjiu Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Derick Owen's pre-calculus is a really good program, but it didn't work for my daughter. She really disliked the format. It's nice to pay by the month without a contract though. I wish looking back I had found a good online class for her, but that depends on the student of course. The cost over 9 months (the maximum you have to pay for DO) would have been about the same. I didn't know about Math without Borders then. It would have been a much cheaper alternative.

MarkT Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) We did not do Math without Borders but I looked at his problem assignments for ideas - we used the Foerster Precalc for a summer supplement after DS' insufficient B&M Precalc. I can tell you that it is a chaellenging HW set. If a future STEM major go for it !

MamaSprout Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 http://precalculus.flippedmath.com/table-of-contents.html Kind of like DO w/o grading. Or DO half price option? You grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaSprout Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I sampled a video - it is not DO that's for sure I meant the video + notes format. No movie clips at the front of DO... and it's free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is his half priced option? How do I find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 What is his half priced option? How do I find it? I haven't done it myself, so hopefully someone who has chimes in. As I understand it, you email him and let him know you are interested in the self grading/ half price option and they set you up with solutions to everything in addition to whatever you would normally get access to. You grade and track everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I am going to use the half price option. You just have to email him about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
