College Pro Science

Summary: Yessss!
Review: Finally! 5 CDs to cover classes that aren't easy for most students, such as Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics or Microbiology... I used a couple of them for my fall exams and they really helped me getting higher grades, without having to study for weeks. If you're a science major, this suite is a must!

Review: I bought this set with my upcoming chemistry exam in mind. I am so glad I didn't pay full price for it. What a dissapointment. It cheaply uses an internet browser interface as its own (Netscape), and barely brushes the surface of topics that are in desperate need of in -depth explanations. The "glossary" takes a long time to load, if it ever does at all. Topics which most beginning/general chemistry students find daunting, such as nomenclature and chemical formulas, are barely addressed in a simple half page of text.

I was so excited that this product existed for college level classes, but it's really a big bore. College Pro Math is a much better product, with animations and voice instruction. This Science package is practically useless.

After trying my hardest to study with this horrible, slow and boring software, I am going to sit on the sofa with my chemistry textbook and my chemistry flash cards, and study the old-fashioned way. Don't buy this software.
