"Let me just start by saying we previously completed Apologia's Botany curriculum, which was excellent. The notebooking journal was in color and had lots of engaging activities which contributed to retention of the material. The Anatomy workbook, on the other hand, was a big disappointment. There was mostly empty pages for note-taking and empty pages for regurgitating information (if the kids could even think of anything to put on those pages!) It's mostly black and white, and the only interesting activity was the human body acetate overlays which were once per chapter. There was one review page per chapter, and a crossword puzzle for vocabulary. The vocabulary in this curriculum is pretty intense, and it's not something I would require my students to learn. (Especially since they struggle with mild dyslexia and much of the vocabulary are words even adults don't know.) The pages to log experiments weren't especially well laid out, and did not reinforce scientific method. Our school requires us to turn in a work sample every unit, and I didn't feel like the workbook pages represented what the kids were actually learning. The textbook is excellent, and I wish the workbook was of a similar quality. It makes me wary of ordering anymore workbooks from Apologia. I'm no longer confident about the quality of their curriculum.  Oh, I will say one thing that I really liked: The workbook has a list of extra resources at the end of every chapter, and some of the suggestions were really engaging."
