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!

I am very pleased with these CD's. Jason Hankins takes you step by step in explaining each example. He does not assume that you already know how to do the work. What I like most is that you can view the work repeatedly until you understand what Jason is explaining to you. I am looking forward to purchasing other titles in his collection. They are wonderful! Don't hesitate in purchasing them if you need help in the subject area.

What I found most helpful about these DVDs was the same thing that lead me to buy them, you can watch the steps over and over until the process makes sense. My teacher went in different directions in our community college algebra class, but the formulas that were presented in the DVDs we did use. I just wish they covered everything, and the music was hilarious!

If you need help with College Algebra, you will not regret purchasing Jason's "College Algebra Tutorial DVD." I highly recommend the DVD set because Jason does an excellent job teaching you the examples step by step. I haven't taken Algebra for quite some time and this was an excellent refresher. This is definitely worth it if you plan to CLEP out of College Algebra class or even review for ACT or SAT tests.
