[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are quite disappointed with the AoPs online class format for intro math courses, where the student never sees or hears a live instructor.  Entire class is conducted through a group text chat conversation on their platform? Is this how all AoPs online classes get conducted or is it just this course?[/quote]
Surprised that you didn't do your research before posting here. The AoPS text based format is the most rigorous of all of their formats. There is a tremendous amount of material that is covered in 1.5 hours, and most of the instructors have phds. Your child also has access to the full text transcript (usually spanning 20-40 pages or so), immediately after the end of that weekly class. If your child goes on break or can't attend, etc. they can easily learn the material at their own pace. On top of it, you get a pretty significant discount on the prices compared to any kind of live zoom and/or in person class. Your child has access to homework, weekly writing problem that is graded with thorough feedback, and Alcumus, as well as a message board to ask questions, and an online version of the exact paper book for the course.

Now if your kid isn't motivated to do the work and go through the material, that would be a different problem..[/quote]
