(D. Myers, 2009-10-01) I think some of these reviews are phoney, because this DVD certainly does not cover all topics you need to know for the College Algebra CLEP. You would also need his DVD for precalculus. Another problem is that the instructor doesn't go into nearly enough depth; so unless you already have a solid background in college algebra, you will not pass the CLEP test without a much more rigorous course of study than is possible with these DVDs alone. However, this is a great product if you simply need to review, or if you want to supplement your readings by watching a real person explain the concepts and work through example problems for you. As others have pointed out, he does not have the most charismatic personality, and there is nothing visually stimulating about the production -- it comes across much like a college lecture. That's great if you're serious about learning, but I have to admit that I wish he would at least spice things up a little by wearing a different outfit now and then (he wears the same annoying striped shirt in every episode) or by reinforcing the concepts with graphic elements. I'm deducting a star because of his shirt (this sounds like a joke, but I'm serious -- it was very annoying).
(S.J, 2009-08-17) This product is great and helped me tremendously, I will be ordering more of these from this company.
(J. Willard, 2009-04-15) This video is excellent for filling in the gaps for those ,such as myself, who are taking College Albegra completely online. I've already improved the speed and accuracy of my homework and quizzes. Sometimes, it just takes seeing a problem worked by an instructor for it to finally "click". I highly recommend! I'm also buying two more vids from same series.
(Vincent Czubatiuk, 2009-02-19) The Advanced Algebra Tutor by Jason Gibson is absolutely amazing. He has a way of explaining it so that anyone can understand it. This is a definite buy for anyone wanting to learn advanced algebra techniques leading into trigonometry and calculus. Great also if you need to brush up on your algebra for CLEP and any college placement exams.
(J. Moore, 2008-12-30) This is a very good product. The dvds provide instructional information in a classroom setting. The instructors take their time so you don't feel rushed. I'd highly recommend it! The Advanced Algebra Tutor (Adv. Algebra 2 / College Algebra) - 7 Hour Course - Learn By Examples!
