Horrible
May 6, 2019

As a person with Dyscalculia this program kills me instead of helping me and it will never let me have the option to use the calculator and the explanations are not that helpful and at the most times confusing

It really needs to. So Aleks, do all of these traumatized Aleks users a favor and please, let yourself be banished to hell. You owe this to all of the people you've driven insane. Please go die.

It sucks
May 5, 2019

It does not provide accurate information and a lot of the time the answers are considered wrong even though the explanation shows that answer as correct or the answers are completely wrong. My child has to put in random numbers every time to get the answers right which takes forever. As a engineer I clearly know 6th grade math, and yet I cannot answer a single question correctly. I would never recommend Aleks to anyone as it is not a valid source of information. This issue always happens even with other students that I tutor on thursday's

First of all, Aleks is math and I suck at math so... Second, the things they teach you are BIZZAR! My mom tried to help me and the second she looked at it... she goes "NOPE" and walked out of the room. THEY DON'T EVEN GIVE YOU GOOD EXPLAINATIONS. Third, knowledge checks?! DUDE! YOUR NOT EVEN GONNA NEED ALL THIS STUFF IN YOUR LIFE TIME! So, I state my case. ALEKS IS THE WORST! IT HAS EFFECTED ME AND MY FAMILY! I'm STUCK inside in till I finish 4 present a day! I'm always in a bad mood lately and that leads to all kinds of problems. Please take the time to read this and take my advice. You don't want your child hating you for choosing this program.

Actually quite useful
April 30, 2019

A lot of people have left negative reviews, but I would ask teachers to give ALEKS a chance. It can be boring for students, but I think that is just because of the amount of material. ALEKS can reinforce things taught in class, and I personally like how each math topic is taught, then tested with two or three questions so the student can move on easily. It's not for everyone, but it can be a useful teaching tool.
My school assigns a certain number of topics per week or month, and this can be very stressful. It's best to use ALEKS if you want to give students an extra review, and not to teach new topics. ALEKS is a commitment for a classroom but overall beneficial

It sucks periodt...
April 29, 2019

Why do you think that this is ok? It's not ok. It doesn't teach you anything about math and is all about memorization. They make you answer 3-5 questions and then they think that you know all about the topic. The worst thing is I don't even have a math teacher that teaches us this stuff. He expects us to do 10 topics a week and if we dont then thats our grade. Nobody every gets them done and that becuase HE DOESNT TEACH US HOW TO DO ANY OF IT. Its all fin for yourself to bad if you dont know how. Thats now even the worst part the worst part is that its so stressful. Especially when you are working on your topics and the na knowledge check pops up and you do it then it takes all of your hard earn topics away! Its a waste of time and there is really no reason to do aleks. This will be the death of every single student using this website. I dont care how much they think that this website helps it seriously sucks and all the teacher recommend just to torture us. The only teachers that make their students use this site are the taechers who are lazy bums sweat through their armpits when doing nothing and sit at their desk eating peanut butter from the jar using their fingers (my teacher). If you dont know the struggle of doing one single aleks topic i recommend trying to do so. I bet you will have nightmares of aleks. In conclusion Aleks is the worst website in the entire UNIVERSE and if you like this website you have to be crazy on drugs or just under mind control. I will never recommend this site not even to my worst enemy. Just remember me when you have to do this webisite. Dont forget me. Ever.

Satan's $#*!
April 28, 2019

The human body can not physically and mentally survive on Aleks for more than 1 minute. Literal hell. As a wise man once said, "I fear no man. But that thing... (Aleks). It scares me."

Awful
April 27, 2019

It's not good. I would leave it at that, but I have to put in a certain amount of letters. That makes sense, some people want depth in reviews, reason to them. But I can sum up my entire experience with Aleks in one sentence.

It's horrible

It's a horrible math class. It's better if the professor get up and tech. I know people that had to retake it up to four times. Have to get rid of it!

The only difference is that i'd rather have satan eat my brain in hell. There is no point to this program and it makes me feel such infinite sadness i'd sooner kill myself then do ALEKS for my entire life. I say it's a fate worse than death.
