Legit one of the stupidest websites ever made. My teacher makes me do 20 topics a week and it makes me really depressed. The fact that I have to take my Fortnite time out of my day just to learn stupid topics is outrageous. I can't believe there could be a person so stupid that they would want to make kids lives so miserable. If people say that they like this stupid website they should honestly jump off a cliff. The idea of learning and not playing Fortnite makes me so mad that I punch a wall for every minute I have to do Aleks instead of grinding out Fortnite with the boys. I just want to say a sorry for the boys that I can't play Fortnite so much because of this dumb website. :(

This piece of website garbage has literally taken a mental toll on me and many others. It has caused depression in many students and has caused there to be several hundred dollars in repairs for broken laptops over the years. I have wasted about a total of a bajillion hours trying to solve math problems no one will EVER need to know, and principals and equations only a literal rocket scientist will need in their life. I don't understand why we need to know this and not actual things that matter. So PLEASE take down this broken-$#*! website and leave it to rot in hell.

I had to use ALEKS for my Chem 101 course in college, and I can honestly say beyond a shadow of a doubt that this thing has given me more hypertension headaches in the past three months than I've ever had in my entire eighteen years on God's green earth. I generally consider myself to be a pretty calm person, but using and interacting with ALEKS has put me uncomfortably close to throwing either my laptop or my body out the nearest window. The progress bar mechanic is pedantic and irksome; whenever you make the slightest bit of progress, it's ripped from your grasp like a kite in the wind as soon as you make the tiniest mistake. And when one goes to seek help when one does not understand the problem, the explanations are roundabout and condescending, as well as outright confusing. It's like the bastard lovechild of Common Core Math and that petty Chemistry major who only agreed to tutor you so that they could strengthen their own God complex. I will concede, though, that it did help me to understand some of the things my prof didn't bother to teach, but that's another story. ALEKS might be better suited to individual homework practice instead of a homework requirement (like what I used it for), so perhaps it's the context in which I used the thing that's driven the vitriol behind my feelings toward it. Anyways, if you want some extra practice, ALEKS is just fine, but if you're actually trying to make some progress, be prepared to know what it feels like to want to rip your eyeballs out of your skull.

I very much dislike Aleks. I find that their failure to tell the student what is being done wrong before resetting the problem is just sloppy and lazy of the creators. The point system if just something that needs to be removed all together. You gain points by getting answers correct, and lose points when you answer incorrectly. It does feel great to get a correct streak, but it feels like garbage when you are on a tough problem that you answer correctly, only to lose a point after incorrectly answering the next one. I also think that the explanations of how to do some of the problems is just to complicated sometimes. Math is not my strongest subject, but Aleks doesn't help me learn that much. From an emotional look at things, I have cried over Aleks. Being on a wrong answer streak made me absolutely lose my cool.

The few pros of Aleks is that the website looks nice. When you initially enter the Aleks homepage (After signing in) it looks nice. It's a change from boring wore-out math textbooks that I look at normally. Another pro is the nice feature of the pie chart showing what you've mastered/learned.

Conclusion:
Do NOT force your students to partake in the Aleks application.

Thank you for your time.

My high school algebra teacher makes us use this, i almost lost my sanity and made me wanna die, in fact if the algebra classes had a contest on which class can answer more questions, ill not do any questions cause i have more important things to do than aleks (like READING A DAMN BOOK!) i don't recommend this to ANYONE unless you are gifted or have grades over Cs, its worse that this is by the big textbook guys themselves (mc. Graw hill) they really should stick with DAMN BOOKS!

ALEKS is a waste of time and effort, I never take any time when doing ALEKS because it is incredibly stupid. ALEKS seriously needs to be banned, because the way the questions and general website is set up; it makes the website seem like a joke. Instead of teaching middle school through high school math with ALEKS, teachers just need to do their $#*!ing job and not be so lazy. I'm actually writing this review instead of doing ALEKS. Please kill this website.

Absolute waste of time and effort. I cannot express how much this website stressed me out and made me waste my time and effort: the material and questions aleks asked you and makes you do barely relate to the class material. The knowledge checks set you back and are absolutely a waste of time. The question layout is horrible, and slows progression. The questions they ask are so mich more complex than what is necessary for no reason. Biggest waste of my time, absolutely ruined my semester BUT ITS MANDATORY SO YOU BETTER BUCKLE UP AND KEEP WASTING UR LIFE ON THIS JOKE OF AN INTERACTIVE MATH COURSE

ALEKS. The peak of mathematical teaching technology (which isn't saying much). 9 out of 10 teachers recommend this site (so they can kick back and relax and do nothing). Before you ask for a tutor, consider ALEKS for your future math teaching needs. Side effects may include, depression, suicidal thoughts or actions, constipation, anger issues, ovarian cancer, bubonic plague, black plague, loss of appetite, disconnection from family and friends, heartburn, acid reflux, and death. Before using ALEKS, consult your doctor and rethink your life and try to determine the actions that lead to you wanting to use this website. ALEKS, F!@# you!
