Choosing a home-study video course starts with a simple question: what do you actually want to learn? The four courses here cover logic, geometry, writing, and cheese, so they are not interchangeable. Three appear on DVD or DVD with a guidebook, and one is on VHS. Listed prices run from USD 8.95 to USD 14.89, and condition ranges from Good to Brand New. Your best pick depends mostly on your subject, your preferred format, and whether a sealed package matters to you.
Quick take
If you need a logic supplement for high school, the Introductory Logic course offers an author-led DVD series at the lowest listed price. If you want a comprehensive geometry refresher, The Geometry Tutor packs 9 hours of video into a Brand New, sealed DVD set. If writing and analysis are the goal, the Analysis & Critique bundle pairs a DVD with a sealed guidebook. And if you want an educational VHS on cheese, the Wisconsin Cheesecyclopedia is the only tape in the group.

Product notes
Introductory Logic: The Fundamentals of Thinking Well 4 DVD Video Course - USD 8.95
This is the least expensive course in the group. James B. Nance teaches the lessons, and the course is positioned for high school with a Teacher's Edition feature. The format is DVD, and the condition is Good, not Brand New. If you are building a high school logic curriculum and want an author-led video component, this course is a logic-specific option. The condition is the main trade-off: a Good rather than Brand New package may matter if you require an unused product.
The Geometry Tutor 9 Hour Video Course DVD Set Math Homeschool Sealed - USD 14.89
This is the highest listed price, and it is one of the two Brand New, sealed DVD sets in the comparison. With 9 hours of geometry video content, the set is aimed at math students and homeschoolers who want a broad refresher in one package. The UPC and GTIN are both 0733792781399, which makes the edition easy to identify. If you already have a geometry text, this set can serve as a full video companion. The price is the biggest consideration: you will pay about USD 5.94 more than the lowest-priced course in this group, so the extra length and sealed condition are what set it apart.
WISCONSIN CHEESECYCLOPEDIA VIDEO COURSE VHS VIDEOTAPE NEW shrinkwrap tear - USD 12.25
A new VHS videotape in factory shrinkwrap, with a tear in the shrinkwrap and cover corner dings. The course is not a former rental, is in English, and uses NTSC signal standard. The format is the clear limitation: VHS requires a working VCR. If you are looking for an educational VHS video course that focuses on cheese, this is the only tape in the comparison. The Brand New condition, despite the shrinkwrap issue, keeps it a self-contained pick. Its listed price sits at USD 12.25, above the logic course but below the geometry set.
Analysis & Critique: How to Engage & Write / Guidebook & DVD Video Bundle Pack - USD 12.95
A 2011 release from The Great Courses, this bundle combines a sealed guidebook with a DVD. The genre is Educational and Instructional, with sub-genre Self-Help, Writing, Composition. It is the only course here that specifically pairs a sealed guidebook with a DVD, which is useful if you want to follow video lessons with a written guide. The scope is specific to writing and analysis, so it will not serve as a math or logic course. Its listed price sits just USD 0.70 above the VHS course and USD 1.94 below the geometry set.
Final recommendation by use case
- For high school logic support: choose the Introductory Logic 4-DVD Video Course. It has the lowest listed price and the Teacher's Edition feature.
- For a complete geometry video refresher: choose The Geometry Tutor DVD Set if the 9 hours of video and Brand New sealed format justify the highest listed price for you.
- For writing and analytical skills: choose the Analysis & Critique Guidebook & DVD Bundle when you want both a DVD and a sealed guidebook.
- For a VHS educational course about cheese: choose the Wisconsin Cheesecyclopedia only if you have a VCR and can accept the shrinkwrap tear and cover corner dings.
