Only way to describe it is it is a cancer. It is soul crushing. If you want to age ten years in a semester go ahead and take a course that requires ALEKS. STAY AWAY IF POSSIBLE. Worst online homework I have ever had to do, and the explanations are awful. Most of the time I end up using methods learned in class. I have never hated something so much in my life

Using this website for chemistry makes me want to rip all my hair out, become frozen for 100 years with a flying bison friend named Appa, go through a year a grueling elemental training to kill an evil Fire Lord instead of doing anything on this wretched waste of space.

The cause of cancer
February 19, 2020

Aleks makes math absolutely horrible and painful. There is nothing worse in the world than this crap. It is the reason cancer exists. Do not give your students this bs please if you want them to have a brain cell after going through this torture. This picture depicts what it f*&%^$^ does to your brain

My school spends money on this b. S only to make all of us depressed and hate math. Honestly math is okay, but ALEKS makes it so bad. It's a waste of time, waste of money. Just no. I'd legit go through a real life Outlast if it meant this would be deleted.

Aleks is bad
February 18, 2020

Aleks is a program where people cannot even learn because they only get a chance to do 3-5 problems. If you want your child to learn make them do MobyMax

ALEKS IS A F*CKING D*CKWAD. WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS SH*T (not a question). ALEKS NEEDS TO DIE IN A SH*THOLE OF F*CKING HELL. IT NEEDS TO F*CKING BURN IN F*CKING HELL. IT'S A PIECE OF GAYSIM THAT IS THE AUTISTIC VERSION OF THE CORONA VIRUS. IT'S THE F*CKING EBOLA VERSION OF TUBERCULOSIS. WHAT THE F*CKING SH*T DOES ALEKS EVEN MEAN "Incorrect answer, try again" BUT WE TRY AGAIN WITHOUT CHANGING ANY-F*CKING-THING AND IT SAYS IT'S RIGHT. ALEKS NEEDS TO DIE IN A DEATH HOLE OF A*S SH*T. EVEN DRINKING BLEACH IS BETTER THAN THIS SH*T. I'D RATHER HIT MYSELF IN THE NUTS WITH A BRICK THAN USE THIS PIECE OF SH*T. STUPID ALEKS. F*CK ALEKS. ALEKS IS SO F*CKING BAD THAT IT DOESN'T EVEN DESERVE TO BE SH*TTED ON. ALEKS IS A TH*T VERSION OF SL*TTY H*ES. F*CK THIS SH*TTY SH*T F*CK SH*T SH*T F*CK. ALEKS CAN GO DIE IN A F*CKING HOLE.

Alexs gives very bad explanations and some of the answer are totally wrong. Also, half the time when my answer matches up, they say it's wrong. They won't even let me just rate this and leave.

IT SUCKS.
February 12, 2020

It is such a big fat waste of time. One time I got the correct answer and it said it was wrong! I'll much rather give up social media then spend a minute on it!

The title should explain it all, but I have to make this 100 characters (oof!) Good math websites at least try to make it fun as well as educational. Aleks doesn't even try to accomplish that. And it purposely tries to trigger you by saying "let's take a break." I hope Aleks goes out of business before this school year ends because I'VE HAD IT!

I used ALEKS last year, and I was pretty bad at Math. I thought ALEKS would help but it didn't. It just made me even more bad at it. I would rather shove my brother's head into my bum, and then jump off of a 32,678 foot cliff. End of.

Useless
February 9, 2020

The best thing about Aleks are the bad reviews. Teachers and parents wont listen to us because were just kids or whatever, but this website must be taken down. It gives awful and unhelpful explanations, and practically kills you when you get one question wrong. I'd rather kill the creator of this $#*!, or kill myself, both are better than doing another topic.

The amount of anger and stress this damn program has caused me is not measurable. It has sucked my time away and it was all for nothing when it forced me to take another knowledge test in the middle of my assignment I was working on for 6 hours. It killed my progress, my grade and made me take a thousands steps backwards. This program only exists to suck the living life force out of you and the green out of your wallet. I will never pay for this $#*! again.
