Aleks
March 12, 2020

This is the most bull$#*! i've ever had to use in my life. Our teach makes us do 8 topics a week, and every time you open aleks it's like being in hell. HELL it's even worse, you get a question right bing! You get a point! Get one wrong you lose one!? Who ever made aleks or even supports it dropped out of kindergarten and did drugs 'till the age of 29.

Listen it's not funny. I cry everyday because I can't do it and no one is helping me. And it gets worst. I felt like i got push off a boat and sink down in the floor of the deepest part of the ocean alone in the dark can't breath and have to handle the most pressure. I spent less time with friend and family doing Aleks in my room alone. Stop this child abusing

Aleks Is Not good
July 16, 2020

Aleks Is not Good for people. 1. It Took me over 1 hour to complete this course and that is not right. 2. The videos are supposed to "help you". Well no they dont and 3. Now I have no confidence in my ability to do math because of Aleks

The worst
December 7, 2021

This site is garbage it doesn't actually help you. Your better off making a full court shot than get 100% on your knowledge check. Whoever created this needs to take this down. Your better off learning from a math teacher than do this. I bet freaking hitler did all those $#*! because of this site. If you are a teacher or principle trying to do Alex's. Don't. It's a waste of your time and your students will wanna leave your school

I am currently taking a college algebra for calculus course. The least amount of topics in one week I've had to learn is 20 and it takes up all my time. It takes me a minimum of two full days just to finish one chapter, which does not include the chapter quiz, review, or test. This platform is draining and incredibly discouraging. I use to actually enjoy math and thought I was decent at it until taking it through ALEKS. It makes you feel stupid and I'm appalled that professors and teachers are still using this for their students. I have taken online math since my sophomore year of high school and this is by far the worst platform I have used. Now I will most likely have to retake this class which will put me out 1000$ and put me behind a semester. If you're struggling through your course on ALEKS, you are not stupid and you are not alone.

Aleks was a very good program. Everyone in the class worked at their own pace which was great. The only problem was the teacher would still lecture about the big picture unit or as aleks calls it "Topics." When we got our homework and tests I would get units mixed up and I ended up doing bad in her class. I do not recommend this program.

Why, ALEKS?
November 15, 2019

Okay, so. As a student who has been using ALEKS for around 2 years now, I've heard many bad things about it from my peers. Just happy to know it's not only me.

'ALEKS is life-changing'. That phrase is one I've seen on the cover of the website. And I have to agree... just not in the way they said. ALEKS is a no-good piece of poop. It doesn't help our learning (all we have to do is solve 2 problems to "learn" a topic), and it makes a lot of people stressed out. Everyone in my school has to use it and I'm assuming many of the students agree.

Me and my friends have for the past year and a half, conducted a project dedicated to finding all of ALEKS weak spots. We have also found reasons it's out to kill us...

Don't use ALEKS. It's bad for you.

F***! THIS! WEBSITE!
December 10, 2022

This website is a confirmed cause of terminal cancer. I have never had an actual violent bone in my body, but thanks to ALEKS, I now want to hunt down the p***s-licking psychopath that created this damn website and put an IV of arsenic into their bloodstream. If you actually think using this website is beneficial or helpful to student learning, you're probably also the person that thinks it's okay to fill baby bottles with antifreeze and watch your babies drink that! Dying of AIDS is more enjoyable. Avoid this trash at all costs!

This goddamn program forces you to take an additional 1-2 questions every time you get one wrong. If you constantly make errors, or make a microscopic mistake, ALEKS gives you the stupid "Try Again" message, leaving you in an endless loop of existential dread, unfiltered anger, hardcore depression, and sheer hopelessness. I've met people who have genuinely considered hanging themselves because of ALEKS' absolutely sadistic system. This site is essentially like a slaughterhouse for students' ambitions and patience. To the teachers: if you consider using this program and still knowing it's utter garbage, every student of yours is well within their moral obligation to beat the living $#*! out of you.

Not recommended
November 11, 2019

ALEKS is a "learning tool" that somehow gets you to not learn, but throw away old information you already had. Oh, you're almost done with that set course and you got one question wrong? Back to the beginning, bucko. Don't understand this set course of questions? Who cares? Heres this set of hastily scribbled notes that you can try to understand, but you probably won't. Overall not a recommended website. If you are going to be teaching a class, avoid ALEKS as a website.

ALEKs is the program for my Gen Chem I homework and this site is so disappointing! It takes hours to complete topics due to it 'erasing' your progress if you get one wrong answer, regardless if you understand the topic. And the most frustrating part, is the random knowledge checks that test you on everything you covered. If you dont master a topic on the test you loose all of your progress. These tests take roughly 2 hours to complete by the way. Absolutely terrible format for any class. The only thing ALEKs achieves is frustration and wasted time.

Edit your site
March 22, 2020

I would greatly appreciate whoever updates this site to stop subtracting points from the bracket you need to move on to the next topic. It frustrates me beyond belief--just because I get something wrong does not necessarily mean I do not understand the concept as a whole. I just want to move on through my objectives easily without being stuck on one for hours on end (because that has happened.) Also, add more detail into the answers explanation because I feel as if ALEKS tries to trick us in order to be stuck on a topic for longer. It does not explain how or way it got the answer as it did, and it just confuses me more. Thank you.

Holy $#*! this site is horrible. I would rather masturbate in front of my parents and shove a shampoo bottle up my rectum than go through one of their "Knowledge Checks" designed to trick you. This website has lowered my algebra grade from a 95 to an 85. That is an A to a B. ALEKS basically ruined my GPA. Never use this website. No good came out of this.

Why any educator would believe that this program is worth using is beyond me. I am a student and my whole class is forced to use this god-awful program. 90% of the time my answers are right, but this garbage site claims they are wrong. Do not use this site, You're better off using Khan Academy or YouTube.

No.
March 27, 2023

This program is probably one of the worst I've ever used in my time. It only gets you so far until it basically just shoves it right in your face and expects you to complete something that you've never practiced. If you are looking for a mathematics program, please avoid this one. It stresses me out and always expects you to do perfect.

The worst
December 4, 2019

This is the worst thing I have ever encountered in my entire life. If I kill myself it is ALEKS's fault. Whoever made this was not thinking through the possible ways to write chemical formulas. 0/10 do not recommend.

Wrong calculations
April 19, 2023

I am a student at a prestigious school. The Aleks program has given me the wrong calculations in the most straightforward 7th-grade topic, absolute value. It said that the answer of absolute value was a negative number. (Absolute value is always positive) This misleading information has made me struggle in mathematics. I suggest re-checking the answers to help other students succeed. At all costs DO NOT get this program for any school or learning.

This website promotes self harm because once you get one question wrong it makes lose progress and sometimes you just have to start the whole exercise over again because of that and it will infuriate people after a while and while working on unreasonably long units that seem to never end it will cause you to spend hours working on math instead of doing work for other classes or doing something productive, and it causes you to lose your mind.

Im not sure why people give it such bad reviews! I'm learning calculus 2 and its honestly an easy, simple, step by step program that's helped me master most topics quickly and easily. People complaining about forgetting everything need to take responsibility and start REVIEWING. Don't just do it when it asks you to, take initiative.
