Customer Reviews
As a curriculum pack, the videos are the lecture, the student book has the lecture notes and additional information. Then the student uses the worksheets in the Teacher Guide.
Though most lessons have a video lecture, not all do (and the book states this).
I love that all the founding documents are also in the back of the book.
The Teacher Guide has all the worksheets, quizzes, tests, answer keys, suggested schedule, and parent notes. The schedule included is for one semester of 4 days a week. The worksheets have a lot of questions with fill in the blanks and short answers.
This is a good course for the last year of high school to understand our government, and the student is at a good maturity level for some of the topics.
The manual contains the schedule to complete the course in 18 weeks. There are 1 - 2 worksheets to complete per chapter, as well as a chapter quiz. The end of the book contains the answer key. I like that the entire Constitution is written out in the book.
The lectures are an essential component of the course. There are 15 videos and each lecture is between 20-30 minutes. It is convenient that they are available on a USB drive or as a download.
