Mc graw hill Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is significantly marred by overwhelmingly negative feedback regarding its educational platform, which customers describe as ineffective and frustrating. Many users express dissatisfaction with the program's design, claiming it induces stress and confusion rather than facilitating learning. Common complaints include poor explanations, a punitive grading system, and a lack of engaging content. Additionally, customer service experiences are often characterized by delays and unprofessionalism, particularly concerning billing issues.

Horrible
March 2, 2019

Aleks is downright awful. First of all, if you get one problem wrong in a topic it makes you go back and adds an extra problem on top of the other ones. Plus it forces you to do a knowledge check when it doesn't even count towards your grade! And if you get something wrong on the knowledge check it makes you do a prerequisite topic after that! It's ridiculous. Worse online math course ever

TRASH
February 24, 2019

This is the worst possible way to learn math. Every time you get something wrong you go down an answer. You do not learn anything whatsoever except how to memorize answers. Don't waste your dollars on this piece of $#*! website. Very stressful and time consuming. WOULD NOT EVER RECOMMEND!

Why is this a thing
February 24, 2019

I actually feel like I want to kill myself doing aleks. Every time you get an anwser wrong, you lose progress. And the questions which are supposed to match grade level don't at all. I spend 2-3 hours a day trying to get at least 3 topics done and over all it just sucks. Worst review I have ever given.

U tryna find the surface area with google? Good luck, Alek's answer are messed up, they aren't correct. I mean the surface area of 2, 3, 6 in a rectangular prism is 72. (According to google) but aleks will probably say its 70 or something. Its $#*!ing autistic.

The Absolute Worse
February 23, 2019

After 1 day of using ALEKS, I'm seriously contemplating dropping out of my math course and finding another one. I have been working on this site for 8 hours straight and I still have 60 GD knowledge checks before I can even attempt the homework. I took the quiz and got an A, but apparently knowledge doesn't matter on this site. Just sheer volume.

All other math classes I've taken through my college's online program have used Pearson's MyLab. Do yourself a favor and avoid any class that uses ALEKS.

Amazing
February 23, 2019

I punched my laptop so hard while working on this fantastic website that it completely shattered my screen! This was great because I've been needing a new computer for a while and now I finally have an excuse to get one. Thanks Aleks! (Real story btw)

Ridiculous
February 21, 2019

Horrible. Absolutely horrible. There is so much unnecessary work that needs to be done on ALEKS. Half of their explanations don't make any sense, the last question they ask you in each topic is always seemingly a trick question, and if you get the last one wrong, you have to do like 2 more problems in order to even see the light at the end of the tunnel again. I'm in virtual school, and unfortunately, I'm forced to use this stupid program. I hate it. I hate it so much and I hate whoever thought it was a great idea to even make this stupid site. Idiotic. Absolutely dreadful.

Pointless and stressful
February 20, 2019

Alright, so my dumb T-series $#*! principal decided it would be good to use aleks to try and teach us and you know what? He gave us the big gay. Not even Shrek can save us at this point. If you see this send help, its too late for me.

God awful site.
February 17, 2019

I have been using aleks in my math class, we have to do an entire pie slice as a major test grade, and if you do not complete all of the pie slice by the given time you'll be making a 70 for a test grade, even if you had 1 topic left you would not be given credit for the work you did. I cannot stress enough that I hate this math website, you do not even learn what they put in front of you. Many people in my school have talked about how much they hate aleks, it puts on too much stress to finish it, and if you get a knowledge check it will kick you back to the last pie piece and make you complete those again before you can finish the one that is currently due. As someone who struggles with generalized anxiety disorder this sets my anxiety through the roof. I cannot tell you how many times I have just broke down into tears trying to finish my homework. This website is not made to help you learn, it is just an easy way to have teachers put work onto students with out doing any teaching.
