ALEKS is such a ridiculous platform for "learning" that the target consumer is obvious: lazy, under-qualified teachers/professors that would much rather waste their students' time than actually teach them anything new. This service, much like my class, is utter dog$#*! and you would be much better off learning from Khan Academy.

I knew I was stupid. I mean, who doesn't know division in 6th grade?! Then one day, when I was working on ALEKS, it said the next topic I was going to learn was division. I was immediately frustrated. For at least a year I had tried but failed to learn division. I was sure it was going to happen again. When it gave me the example before the lesson started, I decided to write it down and give division another go. Good thing I did, because that day it all just clicked! I was so excited! After all this time I've learned division! I am smart again!

I was first introduced to this living hell in 6th grade. It's TERRIBLE! You spend SO MUCH TIME ON THE STUPID KNOWLEDGE CHECKS ONLY TO SEE THAT YOU MISSED HALF THE TOPICS. If you like aleks, you're either a teacher who doesn't care about their students, or you just need a lot of therapy. When you do the actual topics, however, it's a different story. If you get it wrong, you have to repeat the same thing AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. It drives me mad, as well as my peers. I have to do this nightmare again, so pray for me please.

You can end up spending an hour or even hours each day just completing topics. ALEKS uses a point system that for each topic you would have to reach that point threshold before moving on to the next topic. You have to answer questions correctly or you'll lose points. An incorrect answer would mean an additional problem to solve, which means even more time being spent just answering problems. This wastes a lot of time and can be frustrating especially if you work on a problem for minutes, get it wrong for even a small error, then have to work on another question that also takes minutes to complete. The system should at least give you an opportunity to correct your answers before you lose a point. That way, you can check yourself to see what errors you made on your final answer so you don't have to spend time working on a completely new question.

The fact that the tutorial is not optional, and you are instead forced to do the entire $#*!ing thing immediately is incredibly $#*!ing frustrating. The way they explain the topics is $#*!ing nonsense, there is nowhere near enough information for it to be helpful. The pretest function is an awesome way to get incredibly frustrated, guess on all the questions to get it over with (Because you're frustrated), and then spend the rest of your life proving you can add single digit numbers to the dumbest $#*!ing robot known to god or man! $#*! this $#*!!

So, I still feel that ALEKS is a poor attempt at a Math website. Though the last time I actually used it was back in 2018. I still think that there is a lot it is missing when it comes to a Math Program. Let's look at other educational websites to see what they are doing right. Big Ideas math does it right by making the interface easy to use. It goes by the what the teacher posts as the assignment. If it is passed the deadline, you can simply turn it in from the late assignments page. ALEKS has a lot stacked against it and all these alternatives wont help it. In general, don't use ALEKS. Big Ideas Math is a MUCH easier to use alternative.

This is the worst program EVER! I was forced to use this because i failed the first semester of Geometry, and this course made everything so much harder and confusing. These $#*!ing idiots who run this program don't teach you anything. I worked on this all day long every single day for the past two weeks on the topics i didn't understand and i couldn't receive help from anyone. I hope they dismantle the ALEKS program and i hope whoever ALEKS is burns in hell!
