2013 Core 400 IG Errors:


Book defects, backorders, edition changes, etc.


History 420 Parent Guide photocopied (12.6.13)

The History 420 Parent Guide (420-PG) is now being photocopied and discounted at 12% as of today. The retail price was $54.99 but will now be $48.39 until 4/1/14. The price of Core 400 has also been reduced from $765 to $759 until 4/1/14.


How is Carson's American Government book used? (5.1.13)

The current schedule uses about 80% of the text, skipping the 100ish pages that deal with the historical background. Although interesting to read about Romans and various British intellectuals, I think it's more important to cover things like current practice in Washington. With only 18 weeks, some things are less important! (Amy)
