"Imagine what it would be like if your teacher sat down and typed up detailed lecture notes for the lessons that you needed to learn, including charts, diagrams and worked sample problems.  Then he or she attached these notes to practice quizzes, exams and answer keys with the solutions all worked out and explained.  Finally, the teacher handed you the whole package, so that you could review your daily lessons at home.  That is basically what we have done with the Homework Helpers series."
