tmkclscroggins Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hey Quiver! Have any of your kids taken BJU Chemistry with the DVD's? What did you think? What was the work load like? Thanks, melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) We had planned to use the science with homesat, but then decided against it when BJU announced they were ending homesat at the end of the year. I am waiting to hear what they are going to offer by way of online/video school before deciding for fall.

Cindy in MO Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We haven't used the Chemistry yet, but ds did use the Physical Science taught by Mr. Harmon who also teaches the Chemistry. He loved Mr. Harmon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Heaven Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 We haven't used the Chemistry yet, but ds did use the Physical Science taught by Mr. Harmon who also teaches the Chemistry. He loved Mr. Harmon. However, we are not "science-minded" and we are really struggling with the workload and homework. I do like Mr Harmon for the most part ,but I don't like all the BJ LINC call-ins (all taped in 2003) that much. We really are not enjoying the class but I don't think that is BJU's fault - it is just the deep subject matter of chemistry. We stress vocab because I think it helps my "language-arts minded" dtrs grasp chemistry and we have done over 1 chapter due to failing (ch 8 - January) the chapter. We have come close 2 other times. So some of thes things are time consuming. There is a lab every other week approx and we are doing all of those. Lisaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janice H Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Lisaj, This is important information to me. Thanks. Just to be clear, the DVDs BJU sends are recordings of the homesat? Somehow I thought, mistakenly I guess, that the DVDs were made specifically for the DVD audience and thus wouldn't have "callers". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow I thought, mistakenly I guess, that the DVDs were made specifically for the DVD audience and thus wouldn't have "callers". I don't exactly understand but it was a class system that BJU gave students some kind of phone (attaached to their computer/satellite receiver???) that allows students to call in with questions . Sometimes the questions are helpful but sometimes there is delay or techincial difficulties that cause annoying delays and dead air timmes? Also - I think all the BJU DVDs are just tapes of the HomeSat classes and no different from HomeSat except there is no taping to do of the broadcasts.

Janice H Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sorry to be confusing. I forgot about the BJU-Linc program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
