TONS of bugs! Knowledge checks should be optional, not mandatory, nonexistent even. Aleks has left me to feel so defeated, considering all the bugs. I'll get the problem correct, yet it states that it is incorrect, even my teacher has noticed this. When I do them correct and get them wrong, it causes me to believe I'm doing something incorrect, and I have to in some cases completely re-learn how to solve certain equations that I knew how to do the entire time.

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. There is so much unnecessary work that needs to be done on ALEKS. Half of their explanations don't make any sense, the last question they ask you in each topic is always seemingly a trick question, and if you get the last one wrong, you have to do like 2 more problems in order to even see the light at the end of the tunnel again. I'm in virtual school, and unfortunately, I'm forced to use this stupid program. I hate it. I hate it so much and I hate whoever thought it was a great idea to even make this stupid site. Idiotic. Absolutely dreadful.

Kill me. The created of this godforsaken app is most likely sent by satan himself to terrorize children just so satan can sit back and laugh at the children using the app

Aleks is a terrible way to learn Math. First off, It frustrates the learner because when you are doing something wrong it provides a poor way of explaining how to do it. I find it to be a complete waste of my life and time. Aleks has never helped me on a test or changed my life in anyway positive but instead brings stress and negativity. I also wonder when aleks will ever save my life for allow me to receive a job. That day will never come, I wish my school stopped using this stupid program and had my teachers actually teach us for the second period of Geometry. The only plus is i get to listen to Music. Aleks sucks and is useless.

Okay, so before you can even do anything on Aleks, you'll have to buy a code to use the website. (at my school it was $120) After you pay for the damn site, you'll take a test.
If you do not do well on the first test, you will be given at least double the amount of work you will do.
Each assignment will take anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes to complete. Now keep in mind there will be over 70 assignments due in two weeks. The site gives you way more work at home then you would ever have to do in class.
Ever.
When I say more work, i don't just mean a few extra hours, oh no. I mean up to three hours a day, every damn day. That's just to scrape by, if you want an A expect up to five hours a day.
Stay away from this, however you can.

I've been using ALEKS to study for chemistry and it has been the worst experience of my semester. Every so often there is a problem that is outright wrong. It's understandable that people make mistakes, but when it is wrong about a problem that takes 30 min+ to solve it's incredibly frustrating! In addition it subtracts progress from the module you're working on when you get something wrong. There is no way to flag a problem that has an error which adds insult to injury. This is a feature that is desperately needed. I hope no other students have to suffer through this program like I have. Definitely not worth $50.

Whoever made this app went to the deepest darkest pits of hell to find out how to make the worst app possible and make it be in several schools whoever made this will be personally dragged to hell by satan himself and be whipped for all of eternity in the pit that is hell. Whoever made this is app is doomed to eternal damnation.

Aleks does not teach you anything only tests you on the things you already learned in the subject and it's a waste of time students cannot do more than 7 to 8 topics a day without falling behind and if you get a question wrong you fall behind as well plus the knowledge check questions are different from what you learned so you fail and you fall behind this is not worth it for any student I recommend edgenuity better than this schools if someone is reading this do not do this program ever.

Worst program i've ever used. Poorly set up, marks correct answers wrong, and punishes student for answering wrong by literally deleting their past correct answers. ON HOMEWORK. Clearly not to actually teach math but to create busy work for lazy teachers

This math program is terrible. Use this only if you want to spend hours upon hours slogging through hundreds of problems each week only to have stuff added back to your completion pie if you miss a question on a review assessment. Just because you throw a sign while working a problem doesn't mean you don't know how to work the problem and need to redo all of the homework you already did on that section. A computer program just isn't capable of assessing whether or not the material is sinking in. Removing the human component from teaching math is a terrible idea. Why are we paying college level math teachers to teach math when all they are doing is directing their students to this terrible program.

Where to begin? This website does absolutely nothing to teach students about the topics they're supposed to be learning. Completing chemistry questions is nothing but a hassle because if you get one wrong, you lose points because we have to get three in a row? The mechanisms for drawing molecules for organic chemistry is a joke. I am so glad that this is my last semester of chemistry because if I had to deal with Aleks for a second semester, I'd transfer universities.

I don't understand why every math teacher insists on using this site when every kid swears they hate it. Like if you want a kid to learn, make it fun and interactive but with ALEKS every kid hates it so they're just gonna keep half asleep chugging their way through it. Also kids are more compelled to learn and actually study after when you give them 10 minutes of work because it doesn't overwhelm them, but with ALEKS just the knowledge check takes multiple hours to do. Another thing ALEKS does that is horrible is how it barely repeats anything. It's to the point where if your lucky you will get 5 questions relating to the same topic in a row. Sorry for the book but like using this site makes me hate my life :/

I usually dont go out of my way to write a review, but Aleks is so garbage I was inclined to do so. The explanations given in the answers are horrible, and if you get even 0.001 off an answer the question is marked wrong. If you are a educator, dont use this application unless you are some type of sadist or want to see your students do bad and suffer.

I think ALEKS is a nice website to learn and practice math, but there are a few issues. The first thing I noticed was when a math problem is being explained, it sometimes leaves out a few simple steps like dividing or multiplying. I have to retrace the steps myself to figure out what was done to get the answer. Another big thing that I find discouraging is when it will explain how to do a math problem, then you're asked to solve a problem that requires you to do something different than what was explained. Maybe this is a way to engage you to learn more, but it does this repeatedly for about 5 times. Asking you to do something different than what was explained. After a while it gets frustrating because I would like to at least get the hang of what was previously taught before being asked to do something different.
