Unfortunately, I've payed money for this just to have denied access to my class. **** you. Excuse my language. You took my money and I want it back. I had a good amounts of topics but guess what? They added 9 more topics, thank you so much toe infection. This is like a germ that you can't wash off your body, I feel filthy after using this. I had to take shower after writing this. MY mouth has a bad taste from even thinking about ALEKS. The explanations don't work, I have to go somewhere else to learn the material. Whats the point :( I'm disconsolate.

If you get a question wrong, it takes away your progress, so it can take like 20 tries to do a topic that says it requires 5 correct problems to complete. If you have 12 topics per week that can be more than 12 hours of computer work for very minimal learning. Once you finally finish a topic, you have to redo it if you make a small mistake in the knowledge check. Aleks should be taken down; it does not help students learn chemistry it just takes their time and harms their mental health and attitude toward learning.

Would give zero stars if i could. Truly a waste of life. Had to do aleks gen chem first semester of college and i literally changed my major to bio. What a nightmare. Absolute garbage.

This is the worst experience I've ever had with an academic program. It is atrocious, garbage, ghastly, loathsome. This program is an unforgivable blight, a curse, a disease, a rot on higher education chemistry. I'd rather craw naked across 2 miles of broken glass that use this program. After spending hours on one topic I was one correct answer away from moving on. S This program is $#*!ing garbage. Sucked all my god damn time. Go $#*! yourself aleks. I got so piss I called and yelled at the support line. Seriously this program is a god damned curse.

Here's my update: It still sucks, and you will have a higher chance of sucking your own@!#$ than getting a 100 on a knowledge check. Infact, I got one when i forgot how to do half of 'em thanks to their automatic knowledge check. And i have never felt so depressed in my life before i saw #@!$ing Aleks. It's a scam for your sanity. The Creator looks like old $#*! Adolf. And my math teach is also terrible.

I have used Pearson before this, I'd rate Pearson 3 stars. Aleks 0 stars. My mental health is now the worst it's ever been because of Aleks. I spend every day crying. I can't focus on anything but how much stress and tears Aleks has caused me. I have no joy doing anything anymore. I actually think Aleks has caused me extreme depression. When you ask for help on a problem Alek doesn't even give the correct example majority of the time. If you get a problem wrong on Aleks, have fun doing the last two you got right all over again. Oh and each question usually takes between 10-20 minutes of your time. I'd say you'll be spending 10 hours a week on Aleks to get a C in the class. If you want a better grade then I hope you don't have a job or other classes.

Aleks is very bad and no one should waste their time doing it. People have inflicted self harm and have given up on themselves. Aleks doesn't help anyone achieve the grades they want and anything else. The teacher makes us do this boring work and 18 topics per week which is cruel.

I have used this website all throughout this school year and haven't leaned a single thing

The explanations are confusing

Is extremely hard for people that are struggling

You're not allowed to use a calculator on questions that would be borderline impossible without one

It gives a crappy and poorly written explanations on how to do something, then just makes you do it. Aleks is easily the most stressful thing my son has had to do. Worse, his school makes it mandatory to do a certain amount of 'topics' every week. But if you spend too much time on it, it will force you to do a 'knowledge check' which can take up to an hour while also preventing your kid from completing these 'topics'.

I've had to use this for both my General Chemistry I and II classes and I can confidently say that this is most definitely the worst online classroom resource there is for students. It is the most tedious, and specific thing to use, and the flow that you would get with pencil and paper is gone. Aleks seek perfect work and gives no reward. It will erase all of your progress, hard work, and problem solving on one topic, and this isn't even mentioning the knowledge checks. A couple questions wrong, and there goes your aleks pie score, possibly hours of work vanishing before your eyes. Trust me, it's happened to me twice and we didn't even use knowledge checks for the first semester. Overall, I absolutely dread meeting the horrific monster later down the road, every time I work on what's assigned my stress levels rise so much, and this review is one of my only forms of letting that out.

Some math teachers think aleks is now the only thing students need to make it through high school. Then they cant help when we have questions, so I think aleks does help but the teacher/ admin should not over use it.

Aleks is actual $#*! you are forced to do 10 a week when you could be doing something more fun that still involves math too (i. E.: baking a cake, making something) and not lose your sanity and will to live

This website is an absolute nightmare. It is ruining my mental health. I spend hours every day doing aleks topics. The fact that it makes you start over if you get a problem wrong makes me want to just bang my head against the wall. The explanations dont even make any sense and there is just so many topics due in such short time. My teachers are saying they care about my mental health while they are making us do this website every night. Whoever made this website burn in hell

It may seem innocent at first but once you use it makes you lose your $#*!. I was using this for the first time in school and I already hate it. They make you learn all these new things you don't need to learn. One time I finished a lesson and then it took me to $#*!ing Algebra. And that time was at the beginning of sixth grade. They added something new so when you're having trouble with a lesson, they'll let you move on. I like how they added that but sometimes they still give you harder lessons. Every $#*!ing kid hates this. Even most of the teachers hate it. I hope this can be replaced by some other learning program 'cause I'm pulling my hair out because of this thing.

It gives you knowledge checks all the time, makes you review topics you test out of, is very boring, and the only reason a kid would do it is because they are forced to. ALEKS is junk. I am in fifth grade doing it through school, and have to do an hour every day! I was really exited when I first got in, then two days later HATED it. My friend who is sitting across the table from me wants commit suicide because of it. If I could I would have rated it zero stars. ALEKS should not exist. It's the only thing I don't like about school. Even memorizing states and their capitals is less depressing. The creator of ALEKS deserves to die.

Just a garbage site. An actual revolting piece of $#*! that limits my ability to learn in ways indescribable to mankind. Whoever created this site has little to no cognitive function or conception as to how a developing mind works this is the worst site I have been on in years actually makes me want to throw up doesn't even give me a chance to learn subject material just makes me repeat the same type of problem with little to no explanation as to how the right answer is achieved

Aleks is the most cruel thing that a teacher can assign to their students. It literally has no connection to whatever we're learning in class, and the explanations assume that you have prior knowledge of whatever $#*!ty thing they are "teaching" so they are useless.

I am in freshman year chemistry in college and this website makes me want to unalive myself. It's explanations for chemistry are inconsistent and confusing, the progress check doesn't help anyone, and the site itself becomes impatient with you when it tells you to work on something else. I would like to tell the other students who are reading this this that unfortunately, ALEKS will follow you into college.
