Great Overview
This book is very elementary but is great for me. I grew up with no internet and there were no real computers yet in college for personal use. All of the terms and practical computer use is covered thoroughly at the intro level. I only used computers at work and home and learned everything on the job.

8th Grade Homeschool Review:As a parent and homeschool educator, I’ve been using a set of books for 8th-grade homeschooling, and I’d like to share my thoughts. These books have proven to be a valuable resource in our homeschool journey. They provide a solid foundation for various subjects, covering a wide range of topics essential for 8th-grade students.What I appreciate most about these books is their comprehensive approach. They offer a well-structured curriculum that allows students to delve into subjects such as mathematics, science, literature, and history. The content is clear, and the exercises and activities help reinforce the learning process.However, it’s worth noting that while these books are fantastic as guides, they might not provide all the answers. As with any educational materials, there may be moments when students need additional support or clarification. In such cases, we’ve found supplemental videos and other educational resources to be incredibly helpful. The combination of these books and supplementary materials has been the key to a well-rounded education.Subnote:This review is intended to serve as a general overview for all the books I’m currently using for 8th-grade homeschooling. If any of the books stand out, either for their exceptional quality or shortcomings, I will provide a more detailed review for that specific book. It’s all about ensuring that our homeschooling experience is as enriching as possible.

本格的に、今ぴゅ田ーサイエンスを勉強するには、少し足りないが、英語圏で、中学生にどのように教えられているかよくわかるし、日本人の文系の学生にとっては英語の語彙を増やすにのにも利用でき 機械的暗記をするのを苦手としている学生には、とくにこのシリーズは役立つかもしれない。Big Fat Notebookは中学生向きにできているので表現は易しいく、それでいて専門用語の解説もあり、英語を勉強中の学生だけでなく、年配の英語学習者にもお勧めである。今ぴゅ歌ーサイエンスを専攻している理系の学生にも将来中学生にシステムを英語で教えてる参考になるかと思う。
