Nadia,
When I had questions about the Chalkdust precalc course, I went to their website and e-mailed them directly. Even though I haven't yet purchased thier CDs (still considering), Dana Mosley took the time to write me back with his suggestions for my son's math curriculum, etc. So.....why not e-mail him directly and see what he has syllabus-wise? Can't hurt!!!

Just an idea,
Myra

What I ended up doing was dividing each section into two parts. I simply called them "A" and "B". I had her work on each part every day. For example, Monday might be 11.2 A and Tuesday 11.2 B, Wednesday 11.3 A....... Part A involved reading the chapter and watching the video along with doing the practice problems and some of the actual problems (depending on how many were in that section). Part B involved finishing that section, checking her answers and repeating the problems she missed. I left one day for review before test day.

Dd just finished the course about two weeks ago using this schedule. At the beginning, she was able to move a little faster through the material she was already familiar with so a little adjustment of the above schedule might be needed for your dc, too.

Good luck!

Thanks my friends for the suggestions. They were very helpful. I am in the midst of planning and re-organizing and my brain is about to explode (along with the mess in the school-room!!).

Thanks again.
