Aleks...
March 9, 2020

Aleks has the WORST explanations that tell you nothing at all. Also its "only 99.99 dollars for six months?" thats a lot of money for something that teaches you NOTHING AT ALL.

I'm taking a Pre-Calculus college course and this program is absolute bs. Its completely unclear on what order you're supposed to work in and (in my instance) the calendar with due dates is full of dates for the WRONG CLASS. I took a required quiz and it said I mastered 28 of the 32 required topics and those four I got wrong i need to review. Sounds pretty good right? Wrong. Somehow that equates to a 52%, displayed without a breakdown of the topics and their weights. It seems like all the work was put into the aesthetics of the site without paying mind to the actual mechanics.

Horrendous
March 4, 2020

When pandora opened the box of all the awful things that would plague humanity for the rest of eternity one of the things that came out was this program. Im reading all these reviews and everyone is $#*!ing about struggling with math on this website but brother, try chemistry. On top of being one of the most miserable subjects known to mankind this program blows up that miserable aspect and makes you hate the subject more and lose confidence. The explanations are horrible and the margin for error is literally nonexistent. If mankind wants to move foward as a species step one in doing so is wiping this program off the face of the earth

Who ever made aleks literally wants me to kill myself. Seriously losing points that you already got and making you start over is a horrible idea. I seriously can't stand it. Why would they ever make something so stupid. It just gives me more anxiety and I can never get full points on my homework assignments because I am so freakin stupid and and there is no participation points. I hate math and I hate aleks, I am not learning anything and i am getting a freakin D in my class because we only use aleks. I might as well drop the class because this website is so freakin stupid. Thanks for making my life the worst it has ever been. You make me cry every single week and many other students as well.

I know that schools use this, but overall it's not very good for students to use. I understand, it has things that a school math app has but not only is it very boring, it's also very bland and doesn't teach education in a way kids would like. I feel that ALEKS should make this more appealing to kids (like how Dreambox, another learning math app for younger children) does it, where you can customize things and also get rewarded with little games to make it less boring. But nope, ALEKS makes it completely boring with
- Not rewarding you with anything.
- Being a bit more difficult.
- Making it a bit more stressful for kids who keep on getting answers wrong/incorrect.
- Just boring overall.
If a administrator/moderator sees this, I would like to see at least one of my suggestions implamanted.

Day 45. I miss when my $#*! was still a $#*! and not a big gaping vagina, the locals warned me not to the to do the advanced subtraction but I didn't listen and now I'm paying the price for what I have done. If anyone is reading this just know that there isn't a 100 character limit on the reviews so go $#*!ing crazy

Couldn't rate it 0/5
February 25, 2020

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.

Absolutely horrible.
February 24, 2020

I'm a student. Our math teacher forces us to use ALEKS for 2 HOURS each week. That's not the worst part- when you get a question wrong, it removes a question you already got right and marks it wrong. This is EXTREMELY irritating and is very upsetting when you have 1 question left to do until you complete a topic. What's worse is that it makes you do these f*cking knowledge checks when you do a certain amount of topics. It doesn't sound bad, but it forces you to do 25 QUESTIONS until you complete it, emphasis on forces. You can't do reviews or do topics thanks to this goddamn knowledge check. And guess what? After you do all 25 questions, which takes about an hour and a half, it gives you a bad grade. All of that work, just for NOTHING.

Please, if you're an educator, like a professor, teacher, homeschooler, or whatever, PLEASE, DO NOT ALLOW YOUR KID(S) TO USE ALEKS. It has brought me to the point of crying and slitting my limbs. Please, never use this website and torture your children to use this website. They may seem okay with it, but on the inside, they hate ALEKS, they want to never use it again.

In conclusion, ALEKS tries to teach, however, they don't teach things in the correct way. Please, do not get your students or kids to use the ALEKS program.

From,
A tortured highschool student who wrote this at 4:00 AM.

Horrible program
February 24, 2020

This is the worst program to learn anything. It teaches you nothing, and worse the instructors don't help you out either. When lodging a complaint with the administrators. They think the user is dumb. This has to be the number one worse program to use.
