ByGrace3 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Anyone have any experience with College Prep Science particularly Biology. I was looking at both the college prep biology and the life prep biology, and ultimately signed my daughter up for the college prep class. She is a good student but unsure of where she is headed for college (but she is college bound). The website said to expect 6-12 hours worth of work per week which seems on the higher end . . . just wondering what others have experienced with this class or others from College Prep Science.

TarynB Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Are you aware it's run by Greg Landry, founder of Landry Academy? https://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/632899-x-post-landry-academy-financial-problems/ https://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/632893-landry-academy-financial-problems/ Many of us lost money (hundreds of dollars in my case, and many lost thousands) and had to scramble to find replacement courses mid-year due to Landry Academy's very abrupt closure. You can google for more info about his business practices, unpaid teachers, and fraudulent tax returns. After my experience seeing first-hand how he handled his business, I can't recommend him. Aside from that, I agree that 6 to 12 hours per week for a standard bio class seems high. As alternatives, I can personally recommend Debbie Stokes at Excelsior Classes if you want a live bio class, and Dr. Dana Underwood at FundaFunda Academy if you'd prefer an asynchronous bio class. (Mrs. Stokes previously taught through Landry Academy and landed at Excelsior Classes after the dust settled.) I've posted about Dr. Underwood before - DS thought her class was excellent. Feel free to ask if you'd like more info on either one. Edited May 30, 2019 by TarynB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons I chose this class this year was that Greg Landry allows you to pay for about 60% of the class with Landry credit. It allowed me to use money spent I would otherwise most likely not get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
