1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, amateur., September 14, 2007

This review is from: College Algebra Tutorial DVD (Includes practice exams) (DVD)

I got this for my husband so I wouldn't have to tutor him as much in his class. It consisted of untalented and unenthusiastic instructor writing illegibly on a white board while mumbling in a monotone voice. Every once in a while, a key concept would be superimposed on the screen, but most of what he wrote was unreadable. Even if you have an infinite threshold for boredom, there is no way that someone who didn't already know this material could learn much from this.

The other reviews are obviously fakes.

this is not the same as intermediate algebra--which is very appropriate, even where there is overlap things are presented differently in this DVD. but as in intermediate algebra the teacher should speak more loudly, admit and clear away the slips that he makes on the board (which are very minor) and introduce some graphics e.g. when plotting the exponential or logarithmic function

I am a repeat customer of Jason Hankins. I purchased his College Alebra DVD series and found them to be very helpful. No bells and whistles, just really good explanation of the problems. I highly recommend his DVD's!
