The quality of this biology course is excellent. The text is interesting and the pictures are awesome. It's definitely a honor student course as it's very intense and full of information, but worth the effort of teaching this to your homeschool student. The teacher guide and CD with pronunciation and various experiment information is wonderful - especially for those hard to pronounce words. I highly recommend this biology course for any one - especially homeschool parents.
Although Dr. Wile does a good job packing a lot of information into this textbook, many sections are dry and difficult to get through. He also requires a lot of memorization of cold hard facts, which is sometimes difficult.
One nice feature is that it is broken down into two-week modules, making it a little easier to get through.
He is also very true to the Creation account in Genesis.
Dr. Wile's materials are the best out there for science, whether you homeschool or teach in a public/private setting. His worldview is unapologetically Christian and creation-oriented so Darwinian educators might be tempted to pass his work up. But if you're not afraid of having science presented from a creationist viewpoint, you will find his materials the best in terms of user friendliness and how much they will prepare your students for college.
