Reviews
This is an excellent, rigorous course that goes beyond the standard high-school precalc curriculum in both depth and breadth.
Like all AoPS Online courses, this one has live, synchronous classes, but no video and no audio. Courses are conducted entirely via a text based platform. Students read along as the instructor types. It sounds weird, but it works for some students.
Weekly office hours are also conducted entirely by text. This is a weakness of the course, as the response time can be slow -- you type your question and it may be several minutes before a TA sees it and replies. Another way to get questions answered is through the online forum, but this also can be a slow process.
The content of the course is in-depth and rigorous enough to satisfy the math-loving. There are weekly problems sets with at least one writing problem (proof) per week. TAs provide detailed feedback on writing problems.
I took one star off because there is very little support for students outside of class time.
That being said, my math-loving child thrived with AoPS.
