This site is required for my degree in my math class and it's absolutely insufferable. The biggest problem is the fact that if you mess up one tiny thing in a problem, you get punished and the whole thing is counted wrong. Doesn't sound too bad, right? Well, instead of pointing at the mistake you made, the program just explains how to do the entire problem, which convinces you that you misunderstood the fundamental methodology. No joke, I'll understand a subject, then do the work on Aleks, and come out of it *not* understanding it anymore. E.g. Doing two step transformation; I got a 100% on the quiz, yet when I tried to do it on Aleks, that one unit took me over an hour to complete because it didn't show me what I specifically did wrong and made me completely jumble up the math in my head due to its failure to explain my errors. "hurr Durr you got the problem wrong so I'll just go ahead and explain how to do the problem instead of pointing out that one negative sign you forgot to put in at step 3 hurr durrrrr I'm Aleks and I'm $#*!ing $#*!ed"

This $#*! is the worst After doing the piece of $#*! program that doesn't help with $#*!. The school is $#*!ed for trying Aleks. My dementia riddled grandmother could teach me better than this crippiled website. The people who made this program should have seized to ever exist. They have brought torture to a bunch of students and its time for us to retaliate. Also, the people who force students to do Aleks have a special place in hell alongside the people who created the program. I feel like I'm losing brain cells every time I even open the program. The Explanations might as well not even be on there. They look like they were written by a first-grader on LSD. I can't take any more of this $#*!. This is a literal virtual hell.

Aleks is a $#*! website and while I sat down to do this in school I sat on my $#*! and my teacher wouldn't let me get up to fix it or I got a detention. Now I'm sitting in the hospital and they have to cut off my penis now. I'm so sad that I can't bang my big tittied 57-year-old gf. She is so sad because her favorite thing to do to me was injecting apple juice into my penis and watch it have an allergic reaction. I asked the doctor if he could make it into a dildo for her and he proceeded to eat all the medication he had for me and overdose on the ground. At least my friend I'm sharing a room with keeps me company but he's weird. Just a few minutes ago he asked me to pull his sandwich he had stored for lunch out of his $#*!. The weird thing is I couldn't find it and he sat there moaning the whole time. Thank you Aleks you piece of $#*! website that not even Bill Cosby or Kevin spacey would touch.

1. It doesn't teach you anything
2. It punishes you for learning
3. I am already struggling in school and to make the matters worse I have this on my back too
4. It does a better job at teaching you how to get pissed of all the time instead of teaching you
5. The site literally causes depression and anger issues.
6. And just like some of the other comments when you put in the right answer it would say it's wrong then it says that it's right like REALLY! ALEKS FIX YOUR $H! T.
6. And finally I would do anything to make this web site be taken down!

This is by far the least efficient online homework program I have used in college. And "least efficient" is a euphemism for no efficiency at all. The bit about how it gives questions based on what you know is marketing BS. Knowledge Checks are indiscriminate and take several hours to complete (depending on the subject you're using the program for), and the homework itself consists of several topics, each requires two or three sequential correct answers with no leeway for minor algebraic errors or missed units. And the explanations to aid in solving problems seem to have been written by someone entirely unfamiliar with the topic or an AI coded by a 3rd grader. This program is absolutely $#*!ed.

This cancer $#*! program makes me want shoot up my school. Why? Because this program gives you X amount of categories or topics to solve. Ok thats basic enough, and in each category there is X amount of problems you need to solve. Lets say 5. Lets also say that these questions are tough ones and you spend a long $#*! time to figure them out. Good job, lets say you completed 4/5 of the questions in this category. OOPS you make one mistake and the program removes a point. Then you try to fix it and it removes another. So its this stupid $#*!ing domino effect that when you get one wrong, the rest goes down aswell. So your 2 hour long session is just thrown out to the cyber sea of bull$#*!.

ALEKS is the worst form of mathematical education that a school may provide. It overworks the students, has a truly awful layout/design, and silently adds to an already overwhelming homework load. As a student that currently uses this website at my school i can tell you that ALEKS has brought my math grade DOWN. Yes i said down. The math problems given are not well worded, explained, or having anything to do with the math currently being taught in the school curriculum. The topics vary in difficulty from person to person and are not relevant to grade level.

ALEKS is a website with good intentions, but a bad execution of them.
