I am using Croy for a First year Greek course.  The edition that comes with
the CD-Rom is very helpful in that it provides an answer key (but not to the
LXX, NT exercises- these can be looked up), a bunch of vocabulary quizzes,
helps for teachers, etc.  The CD-ROM makes Croy viable for a self-learner.
I agree with the comment made about participles.  A little bit more in this
department would have been helpful!  Overall, my students find Croy to be a
good text.

Yes, the comments about self-learning did refer to the answer key, but
also that Croy is quite a bit more concise than Mounce.

By the way, in the latest edition of the Mounce Workbook, there were
many sentences taken from the LXX among the "Additional" exercises,
which I required my students to do.
