I'm a college student, taking Gen Chem which I needed ALEKS for. ALEKS is supposed to gague your intelligence in topics but the only thing it gagued whats how much rope I needed to make a noose. Ask your self, whats more important-Your sanity? Or spending 20 min on a problem to count it wrong because you abbreviated the word "hour" with "hr" instead of "h". THATS RIGHT SAY GOODBYE TO SANITY. I'm having my nurse type this for me since I literally gouged both my eyes out with my pens. I'd rather doggy-scoot 50 miles through shards of broken glass and $#! Then sit in a nice bath of bleach at the end of it than use this terrible program again.

I was beating my $#*! and then my teacher emailed me saying do your aleks you little cheeky $#*!. I said no $#*! eat my fat shlong.

SUCKS SO BAD I did 2 hours of aleks and it deleted all of the 2 hours so my teacher gave me an F- in math. :( So terrible do NOT get aleks, it sucks!

It is just a garbage site overall and does not help teach anything and causes pain I know plenty of the kids in my class are all suffering and I myself would like to nuke the people that work there multiple times. Also, it is a scam of my money and I would rate it -******* out of 10.

Aleks is an annoying piece of shart and nobody likes it. After a few topics it becomes repetitive and garbage. Doing 10 topics a day is still boring. Take it from me who has to do 30 a day. Your kids will hate it. Doing 600 topics of basically the same thing is useless. In total it is utter garbage and I hope it gets shut down. Aleks, If your reading this, MAKE A BETTER SITE FOR F***ING SAKE. > :(

It's boring first of all everyone hates it and it takes so long to finish one thing and no one wants it if you buy this get rid of it

I just finished this useless program for chemistry, and I have to say I wish I had listened to the reviews. I would've rated this zero stars if I could. I have had experiences with online learning from other courses and this is by far the worst teaching method I've had to endure. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone because I know there are other learning methods that are more effective and less costly. If you are considering taking a class at a university where this is required, I'd urge you to transfer your credits from a community college that doesn't use this. This program gives a student unnecessary stress. Instead of understanding the work, they are memorizing the topics which they can't retain for long periods. AVOID this program at all costs. I even wrote a letter to my professor about how horrible this program was made and I hope they spread the word to the department so that they can completely remove it from the curriculum. It's enraging to believe that so many students have to pay for something this useless to advance their education. That being said, there should seriously be a petition to remove this program from schools instead of people just shouting about how much ALEKS sucks. There needs to be a formal way to bring down ALEKS in order for irritated students to be taken seriously, otherwise, they'll call us impatient and lazy. This is how my professor responded to a student when they were criticizing ALEKS. Students should stay calm and collected when writing bad reviews for ALEKS if they want to be heard.

I am an adult with 2 jobs and i have to do this mother $#*!ing bull$#*! for my chemistry class so i can get a college degree at a highly ranked US higher education institution and guess what! I just read my aleks stats, and i've averaged 8.5 hours a week on this, on top of the 40 hours a week i have to work to pay my rent! It's only the end of my first quarter with this "aleks' guy and I have spent 93 HOURS OF MY LIFE ON IT. THAT IS ALMOST 4 DAYS OF MY TWENTIES AND MY WHOLE LIFE. I COULD HAVE BEEN SPENDING TIME WITH MY LOVED ONES AND HERE I AM PAYING! TO TORTURE MYSELF! $#*! you.

After using this site for an entire semester, I can say this is almost completely useless. I take a Trigonometry/Pre-Calc course, and since I am basically self-teaching myself the material despite having a professor, each topic assigned can even take hours to complete. The worst part is it is nearly impossible to fully learn the material by merely completing these topics. My instructor assigns us 30-70 topics a week, so imagine what it's like to use this on a daily basis when you have other classes to worry about as well. ALEKS has caused me multiple mental breakdowns, as well as instances where I've literally fainted from all the stress. If you're an instructor, please for the love of God do not use this. Coming from strict parents who value grades more than anything, you have no idea how many times I've contemplated suicide just because of how incompetent I feel.

I'm a freshman in college and for my Math class we have to use Aleks. I wasn't familiar with the website until my professor introduced it to us. Once we started using it, I thought to myself "oh, this isn't too bad", but then later just the thought of Aleks makes me wanna kill myself. I'd be completing 17 topics due soon and as I'm in the middle of completing those topics, I see my nightmare "Knowledge Check". If you end up having to use Aleks, I really really feel bad for you. I wouldn't wish this on my enemy, that's how much I hate this $#*!. I get so frustrated that I start to lose focus and instead of being able to complete the work, I just cry and cry. I've complained about this to my Professor and other students have done the same, if only they'd listen and understand the negative impact this has on students. On a recent test on Aleks, I used a comma (6,788) and it marked it as wrong and guess what? The correct answer was 6788. When you get an answer incorrect, it doesn't properly explain it to you. There is just sooooooo much wrong with this website. I HOPE TO GOD that it gets taken down because I doubt anyone would remember it exists. #$#*!aleks
