thelindulafamily Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hello, I am looking for comments on the Instructor Led courses at BYU Independent Study Online Courses. I am planning on enrolling my 9th grader next fall and I want to make sure I'm making the right decision. If anyone has comments or experience with BYU please let me know. Thank you, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I am also looking for feedback on BYU classes. My son attends a magnet school and wants to clear some class requirements by taking some required distribution requirements online, leaving more time in his regular class schedule for classes he can only get at his school and more AP classes. BYU seems to be the cheapest approved provider. We are looking at the Health 041. Does anyone have any feedback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My nephew took a BYU HS Math class quite a while ago. More recently I tutored a student taking a BYU HS Math class. BYU instructor led does not mean you get the same kind of support you would get from a Derek Owens or similar course. The assignments get graded but I don't remember the student getting a lot of feedback. My gut feel is to say that they are very structured independent study courses where the student learns the material by reading the text and doing the assignments. The tests are reasonable as I remember. The courses are accredited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 My daughter took a BYU English class in middle school. It wasn't terrible but we were not impressed - it was more of a "check the box" class. It was easy for her and there wasn't much feedback. The instructor was very nice and the instructions were clear but it took a long time to get an answer the one time she did have a question.
