It works well, and is amazing! It really helped boost my math grades, and I even excelled into a new level beyond school!
Horrible program, zero out of ten, would throw it out the window if it were a physical object, it causes so much excess stress and needs to be publicly excecuted immediately, through all my schooling, all aleks taught me was a hatred of online math programs.
This site is useless and makes me wanna stab my eye out with a fork, than jump out a window, and if I survive, than jump off a bigger one. I really wanna jump out the window durning my math class bc of this. Please never use it it'll give you brain cancer
This program is definitely for the patient people, and patient people only. I DOES "teach" a lot of math, but in an ineffective way. First, it doesn't show you which parts of a question you got incorrect. Secondly, the lessons may teach how to do it, but a problem may arise that is a different situation than taught. When you get one question or part of a question wrong, it will take off a full point, and won't tell you which part. Additionally, knowledge checks only add more work, and does little to show where a student is. Overall, I wouldn't recommend ALEKS to any teachers that teaches high school or below, as it causes frustrations and has ineffective teaching methods.
If you do Aleks, the boogieman will shove a 18-inch dildo up your butthole. When I was doing Aleks, my school burned but my teacher told me to keep going
What the $#*! did you just $#*!ing say about me, you little $#*!? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the ALEKS Knowledge Check, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on ALEKS Topics and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in math warfare and I'm the top math major in the entire US education system You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the $#*! out with math precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my $#*!ing words. You think you can get away with saying that $#*! to me over the Internet? Think again, $#*!er. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're $#*!ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare math skills. Not only am I extensively trained in ALEKS combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the ALEKS Knowledge Check and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable $#*! off the face of the continent, you little $#*!. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your $#*!ing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will $#*! fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're $#*!ing dead, kiddo.
First of all i still get A es in math but i hate it so much. Im in 6th grade and all my classmates hate it. It doesn't even work. I get a problem wrong and i see the exclamation which never works and i see the answer i just put down. It is also SO BORING who ever made aleks should Go to Jail for torturing kids
While I was doing aleks 9-11 happened and my dog choked on a pen. My teacher told me to do 15 topics, my assumption is that that is why this happened. I tried to talk to my counselor about this but he said that it was my fault and he couldn't do anything about it. Overall I dislike Aleks and my teacher.
PS: While we are on the subject my dad works at aleks, and lets just say he doesn't anymore
I've been getting 100s in math, and haven't been the least bit stressed, like, at all. Now, we have to do 25 Aleks lessons per week. I have been working from the time i get home to the time I go to sleep, no distractions, and it´s still a close call. My parents are worried about the amount of work I have at home an are insisting its because I get distracted. I dont. Just. Help, please. No, I would not recommend the hell that is Aleks to my worst enemy.
The bar progress system is actual torture. I've had actual meltdowns spending an hour on one topic. Not only that but topic navigation is messy and disorganized. It was much better in past years.
This site is gross and it takes up so much time, like some lessons are easy but its just so repetitive and if it were a person i would gladly see it die it front of my eyes like I'm not even kidding. Also please send help.
Oh my god this program is like if a piece of $#*! ate another piece of $#*! and crapped out that piece of $#*!. I cannot stress how BAD of a program this is and it makes me wanna rip my hair out.
So if you don't understand it and you click explanation it doesn't even make sense, also when I get a question wrong it wouldn't give me a second chance (unless It's only for me)
Sometimes i would ask my math teacher he would click explanation and he said it doesn't make any sense
This $#*!ing software might not of been intended to replace a teacher and be used as a online course, however, my university legitamately made this the teacher essentially. This piece of $#*! cannot $#*!ing teach. At all. I want to kill myself using this crapware. This company needs to go bankrupt.
So hard and the explanations are so unhelpful. Only use this for your class if you want them to be miserable and frustrated. Don't recommend. Would give 0 stars if it was an option
This is trash and pisses me off. Its really hard and only white people will like this. Of you want to know what color was the creator of aleks, he was white
ALEKS CAN GO SUCK MULTIPLE $#*!S AND EAT $#*! FOR ALL I CARE CUZ IT MAKES KHAN ACADEMY SEEM LIKE A GOD DAMN SAINT. ALEKS MAKES ME WANT TO $#*! OUT MY MOUTH BECAUSE IT CAME TO MY HOUSE AND KILLED MY DOG. THAT'S RIGHT,, MY $#*!ING DOG. PARENTS
DONT PURCHASE ALEKS IF U DONT WANNA PUT YOUR CHILDREN THROUGH HELL
This site is CANCER. It is the worst site ever made. You don't learn anything when you use it. Every time i use it i get stressed out and angry. I'm failing my class because of it. And it just repeats things over and over. The lessons it gives you pre-entering a subject don't help at all. If a teacher is reading this, don't give this to your students. This site is abysmal and should be banned.
The video review is full of bs. Although sometimes the practice kind of help a little but when it comes to certain problems the app is no help at all.
Answer: Because the ALEKS program is literal hell and we people are just showing our hatred for it
Answer: Most likely.
Answer: Yes deal with it
Answer: Because people want to commit suicide in an original way, and ALEKS is the best way.
Answer: I don't think so but believe me a class action suit would be an improvement
Answer: I paid over $150 for this sumbi**h, I expect it to work
Answer: No i do not think the website owner has issued one but I think the feelings for aleks would be "down the toilet"
Answer: I realize this reply is very late but in case for anyone who needs it: -Let's say you're learning how to use long division. They have 3 questions in it. You master the first one, then go on to the next one. You get the second one wrong, guess what? They punish you and take back your first answer so now you have to answer it again. -How fun! And don't forget the useless knowledge checks!
