"The feature that made me say, 'Wow, this is really useful!'
was the way it helps students in junior and senior high work
through development and organization of compositions."
"[Theseus is] based on classical methods. But even those not
using classical education should find TLS one of the most
valuable tools they use in homeschooling."

Beverly Krueger, Eclectic Homeschool Online:
"[Theseus] takes organized thinking to a new level, which is
required for both good writing and critical reading. In fact, the
author suggests that using this program will prepare a student
for the SAT Writing and Critical Reading tests. I agree. One of
the major breakdowns students have in taking writing tests is
their lack of ability to organize their thoughts."

Here's what students who have used Theseus have to
say:
Drew, high school junior:
"Theseus makes the thinking process more visual and easier to
complete than just writing or diagramming on paper."
"The Spotlight, in my opinion, is one of the best features
because it really kept me from trailing off in the wrong
direction."
"For improving critical thinking skills and organizing thoughts,
Theseus would be an excellent choice. Not only is the software
easy to use, but the lesson book is a pleasure to read, too -
very friendly and conversational. Theseus would be great for
preparing persuasive speeches or essays, or just anytime you need
help organizing material. I can especially see this resource
being useful for aspiring debaters, as the program actually
allows you to diagram your major/minor points and to learn how to
best develop your arguments. So if you're looking for an
innovative approach to critical thinking, give Theseus a
try."
Katie, high school senior:
"This program helps organize your thoughts and gets you
started on your topic when you don't know where to start."
"This course is something that I can apply for many years down
the road."
Beth, high school freshman:
"I think that Theseus is a really great product. I've used it
for papers and also thinking processes about debates that are
going on today. Theseus helps people to know how to think, which
is something that is valuable that isn't taught in anything else
that I have come into contact with. Thinking is something that we
all do, Theseus just teaches you to not get lost in what you are
doing and to understand what's going on in your head so that you
can get it into words. Theseus has certainly helped me to become
a better thinker."
Hannah, high school senior:
"The Theseus Learning System really helped me personally to
think about the way I argue. I think the biggest strength of the
system is that it gives you a visual way to see the way you can
use persuasive arguments that will be useful in real life. At
first I thought the program would be something to use only for
essays and papers, but soon i learned this was a program that
teaches you to evaluate your own thought processes and that
teaches you to improve your life skills."
