Frequently Asked Questions
What type of presentation format is the video?
Instead of being one, super-long, boring Powerpoint presentation, Daniel Valles has broken the seminar into many small ‘lessons’. This enables the viewer to examine each point by themselves, and also pick up where they left off easier if they can only watch a little at a time. For visual and intellectual interest, the presentation uses period costumes and sets to give the presentation a classic and enjoyable feel.
How long is the seminar?
The total seminar fills up 3 DVDs! It is almost four hours worth of information! It is not designed to be watched all at one sitting. It is recommended that people take their time progressing through the lessons and workbook at a pace which they are comfortable with.
What age group is the seminar good for?
The seminar is best for early home school highschool through adult. It all depends on the student. There is a lot of application on the video, as well as some of the other concepts, that younger students will be able to grasp as well.
What kind of copyright does the video have?
We are allowing anyone to make copies (in whole, not in part) for free distribution. While you can purchase a packaged version, you can then make as many copies as you need for other friends and family, provided they are free and at no charge.
Will it be easy to use this seminar/workbook in a home school setting?
The workbook is designed for at-home study. Whether it is an adult individual study, or a planned course for home schooling, the workbook lessons lend themselves to schedules and daily lesson plans. The workbook/seminar is broken up into forty-one ‘lessons’ that average five minutes each.
Can I use the Logic Seminar toward High School / College credit?
Check out this link on hslda.org for more information. Basically, 1 credit equals about 120-180 hours, 1/2 credit elective = 60 hours, 1/4 credit elective = 30 hrs. The Logic Seminar (depending on the student’s progress) would fall under the 1/4 credit category, assuming 1 hour per lesson day in the teacher guide; but, again depending on the student, and how much time they spend reviewing and studying terms, etc., it could easily be a 1/2 credit elective (60 hours).
