Been using this program during my school year and god knows why but it's a grade, it's actually the reason i can't pass! But it can't even use itself, it needs you to follow everything exactly. And it's "examples" are extremely long and more complicated than it needs to be, don't get me started on the poor mechanics and downright dastardly layout.
The maker clearly has no clue how students effectively learn, and this program is another crystal clear reason why teachers shouldn't be paid as much as they are. This website is an excuse for teachers to not do their jobs and TEACH their students instead of forcing them to work on some bat$#*! insane site.
I hope the creator of this horrible site goes to hell

Literally garbage
June 3, 2022

I am a High School student and in my opinion, Aleks is the worst program that ever existed, even when aleks gives us the process of finding the answers it doesn't even tell you why you should either add or subtract the values, it just types it out and being done with

Deserves -10 stars
May 25, 2022

I've had to use ALEKS twice now for college and I wish this program was never invented. It's absolute garbage. An entire dumpster fire. It has done NOTHING for my education but make me very miserable and extremely pissed off any time I have to do anything on ALEKS. Whoever wrote up the explanations for ALEKS did a piss poor job. The worst part is when you get a question wrong, it docks a point you had accumulated for getting questions right. That literally does nothing but make me less likely to actually want to learn the subject I'm being forced to learn. For anyone not being forced to use ALEKS, use Sophia learning. Sophia actually teaches you the concepts in a way you can understand and doesn't punish you for getting a question wrong.

Most questions you can just google the answer of something, but when it comes to graphing and stuff, no matter what you do, sometimes you are just wrong, even if the "explanation" says that your answer is the same as the correct one, it will still mark you wrong and you will lose progress on your work.

I can't even-
May 15, 2022

Aleks is downright bad. Its worse then stage four cancer. It does numbers on your brain. Hell, it deals so much damage to your brain that it gives brain eating amoeba a run for its money. Aleks is a disgusting, horrible learning site that forces you to repeat the same topic over and over and over again. Get two questions wrong, and it'll make you REDO THE WHOLE TOPIC, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PROGRESS YOU HAVE. And this is especially bad if your teachers are cruel, and assign you daily topics. The *knowledge checks (*Read as: Torture sessions) makes you want to shoot yourself in the head with a high caliber pistol. If you ever consider downloading aleks, DONT. Instead, go jump off the golden gate bridge. It hurts less, and you'll go to a better place.

This TRASH website pulls virtual wanting schools into their abyss and forces schools to sign contracts just because its cheaper and people don't give a $h*t about kids at all.
Not only that Aleks is DESIGNED to stress you and help you UNLEARN important things i mean honestly my dog can do more math then this website and my dog is dead. Please dont use this its a waste of time and money

Most of the time when i did a topic it would count it wrong. And it is just to hard, i hate doing math on aleks. The creator really didn't care and its not meant for mentally ill students.(depressed, ADHD, ADD, ETC) i find it very hard to do.

Absolutely sucks
April 29, 2022

Where to begin? This website does absolutely nothing to teach students about the topics they're supposed to be learning. Completing chemistry questions is nothing but a hassle because if you get one wrong, you lose points because we have to get three in a row? The mechanisms for drawing molecules for organic chemistry is a joke. I am so glad that this is my last semester of chemistry because if I had to deal with Aleks for a second semester, I'd transfer universities.
