Lessons are god awful at actually teaching. Don’t recommend
Ive used edmentum for summer school for the past two years and I can easily say I was not impressed. The entire premise of a good half of the lessons I took were rooted in you already knowing the material in at least some capacity, which I’ve found to be both super annoying and frustrating considering Im supposed to be making up what I don’t know, not building on what I do. Also considering this is also used in some capacity for at home education, this is a serious design flaw. Additionally,I’ve found that the program does absolutely no actual explanation beyond real world applications, in geometry for example knowing real world applications does nothing if you don’t know the equations in which you are supposed to apply, which I haven’t seen any of. It doesn’t explain how to do any of it, only gives you a few problems to solve with no prior knowledge of how and you’re just supposed to figure it out along the way? With minimal to no instruction? That’s not how education works, and it’s not how lessons should operate. I should be taught how to do it, in whole, then asked to apply it, not one or the other. I’ve also noticed that the one lesson we are given before a mastery test is not accurate to the questions asked on the test, and what I mean is the difficulty and complexity of the questions are higher on the mastery test then what we are actually taught, so even if I do understand the useless lesson the test pulls random stuff out of nowhere. So anyway the only reason this isn’t getting 1 star is because, I did make up my credits quickly, no help to the course itself, but rather google.
