from what i heard its pretty good, well for the general maths course, though i'm not sure how good it will be for 2unit and the extensions, i'll probably try it one day

I thought it was quite helpful for Perms and Combs.

I found it making things confusing for General Maths. I only decided to check it out to compare my methods with the one's they use. And they make it seem a lot harder than it is.

i found the guy's voice soooo draining.
his jokes are so dry.
taught nothing but basics, so had nothing really challenging about it.
only good to get a general insight on the topic.
did not go into depth or have a range of questions on the topic either.
i wouldnt recommend it, pretty shitttt.


edit: oh & most of the shit he says leaves you there saying, "derrrh fred" -____- "

It's decent - taught me perms and combs. It helped a little on probability...

It's a great way to refresh your memory (especially since I forgot differentiation from first principles).

our teacher prints off all the questions/solutions for every topic we do
as an additional resource to our textbook

it's great !
only thing is that the questions are quite easy.
nevertheless great for starting a new topic:)

Yes, it's a great resource. But McDonald's did NOT establish the site, they merely promoted it and funded it... maths teachers associations/professors created the site. It's a bit like Excel books, great for explaining the concepts, but hopeless for those high-marker questions (there just aren't any difficult questions on the site). :)

It's a very good site, the guy explains most of the basics quite well and there are questions with worked solutions on each topic after you learn it.
