I have purchased both algebra 1 for my younger child and ap chemistry as well as government for my older student. I am very happy with each one. The math is awesome. I do not have to grade papers and my daughter is able to progress on her own as she is able. One of my favorite parts is the ability to do the daily quizes over (they present a different set of questions but cover the same material) until she demonstrates mastery--which we have defined as over 90% correct. I can log on and see any areas she may be having difficulty with. Both subje...(more)

George Wolfe is very easy to understand, and he has a fun personality that makes it easier to listen to lectures. The videos were beneficial because it wasn’t just another boring lecture to sit through. Throughout the lecture important points were highlighted, which made it even easier to understand what George was trying to get across. The pictures also made it easier to remember things.

Thinkwell’s impact on my class was great. I actually understood what my professor was talking about and I was not confused by his information that he gave the class.

We have completed unit one of Thinkwell AP American Government; we are doing this as a group, watching the lectures individually during the week, and then meeting once to discuss the material and go over the notes. The professors are excellent, as are their lectures; the notes are helpful and the photos, drawings and other graphics add to the overall positive impact of the course. I do believe that fully utilizing all the tools that Thinkwell provides will provide my students with the knowledge they need for the AP exam, especially in conjuncti...(more)

We used Thinkwell Math 6 this year. It has been a fantastic year! My son catches on quickly, so the self-checking interactive problems are perfect for him to solidify his understanding each day. One thing I would do differently is to expect him to also print out and complete the 5 problem worksheet each day. I have also learned to split up the Subchapter Review and complete it a bit each day rather than all in one day, which can be overwhelming sometimes.
I appreciate the application "word problems" in Thinkwell more than those I fou...(more)

Thinkwell’s impact on class participation is very positive. Instead of being able to copy out of the back of the traditional book assignments, you are forced to learn and ask questions that will further help later at night on the homework. The most beneficial part of Thinkwell was that after each question regardless if it is right or wrong it gave full explanations of the answers. I have never enjoyed math for the pure fact that I had to spend so much time doing the homework. With this internet homework I enjoy myself more and like being able t...(more)

My daughter has completed the Pre-Algebra program and will start Beginning Algebra soon. She found the video lectures entertaining, and was able to understand the concepts. I have found this program to be thorough and well-presented. The co-op price is well below the prices I've seen elsewhere.

My son is really enjoying the Pre-Algebra course. The professor is engaging and clearly explains the material. We will definitely continue using the Thinkwell video courses.

My son is taking Thinkwell Physics. How thrilled we were to find a program like this, which he can do mostly on his own and of good quality. ...and it was on sale! Win, win, win!
My son said, "I like that the teaching is presented in a fairly intuitive manner. The videos are short enough too, that if you want to watch it again, it's not a hassle to get to what you wanted to see."
