Summary: The professor is too fast
Comment: I bought this for my mom who wanted to learn to use computers and the internet. she does not have a good background on computers and i thought this will help with the basics.
i find that the professor talks too fast and my mom finds it hard to keep up so i continuously have to help her catch up. not that i mind anyway.
besides that, the lessons are good for someone with no background. I would recommend to video professor to find a way for people to follow without been overwhelmed with the pace of the lecture.
Customer Rating: Summary: Program works
Comment: My boyfriend wanted to try several Video Professors to increase his computer usage knowledge. We tried going through Video Professor itself and had all the issues listed in the other reviews here.
I finally ordered the program here on Amazon to avoid dealing with the video professor direct issues and we received the Starter Pack a few weeks ago. He really likes the programs. For someone who wants to learn what windows, outlook, word, and the internet can really do this is a very good systematic approach to teaching those programs. Issues with Video Professor aside the teaching approach in the cds are very thorough and easy to navigate through. You can easily rewind through the lessons and redo sections if you want.
In this "Starter Pack" you get the first cd of each of the programs (they are all available as separate 3cd lesson plans).
In summary, the programs work very well for people who want to learn these programs. Ordering it through Amazon gets you a good price without having to deal with monthly offers from Video Professor.
