A website to help you with passing Aleks Math Courses

[cookderosa]

So after the initial assessment for college algebra I'm at 56%, I'm I far away from the 70% needed for completion?

Work on your pie until you learn more material. When ALEKS issues you another assessment (or you order one) you'll retest. You continue this pattern until your assessment score is 70% or more.

Hi I'm new to this program and I'm currently taking statistics through ALEKS. I'm going for Criminal Justice so not sure why I need to but anyways. Is this a site where people will help you with your class your struggling with? Like I have a final exam coming up and no idea how I'm going to pull it off.
Thanks for any information

A youtube channel called John Wood explains statistics quite well and it was a huge help to me: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLvOTk8...xiujg/feed

Good morning, of course I'm here!

You know what? People can, and will, do whatever they want to do. I know people cheat, I don't have a personal objection to how others walk their life as long as it doesn't mess up my path too much. I am NOT the morality police, at least not beyond the walls of my home. But, on this forum, I am open about many things, specifically things related to credit-earning HERE. This forum, I believe, is the best source out there for support and information. It has been for years. I don't work here, I'm a member like all of you. But having been here a long time, I know that people browse more than they post. So, people will read this thread. And when someone brand new to the community pops in with a first/second post as a way to cheat the system, it ticks me off. This board is full of honest people who want legit degrees. There are OTHER sites where people can go to pursue unaccredited degrees. That's not what goes on here. So, THAT'S my motive Sanantone.

Mathway is a calculator that allows you to type in ANY problem and get a solution/answer. Some people will use Mathway as a TOOL to check THEIR work, and some people will use it to pass a cheat-friendly, at-home, self-paced, no proctor assessments with ALEKS.

I used Mathway -literally twice- a long time ago on begining algebra for myself. That course used to count for credit at TESC, so I started it, however the mathway section that shows your work was completely hard for me to grasp. Not being a mathy-person, I decided that I didn't understand the scratch pad so I enrolled in the 100-level math through TESC and took the class instead. But, that's how I learned about Mathway.

I allowed my son to use Mathway for his trig and stats via ALEKS when they got hard, but it didn't help him learn the material either; it helped him develop a habit of getting "help" on every problem! (which he denied of course- and that worked for a while, but I caught him eventually) He did, however, pass those classes, and for many people, that is the only goal, so they see no reason not to use Mathway. Your mileage may vary. For those of you with excellent memories, you'll know my son enrolled in a college that uses ALEKS. Fast forward- I opted to not send or pursue using ALEKS for college credit in his degree, and I have wiped those two classes from his high school transcript. Titles remain with high school credit, but not college credit.

In my home, we've stopped using ALEKS and went back to Saxon, because in my home, learning has to trump credit earning. I would consider using Mathway on your pie useful to some degree, but using Mathway on an assessment (which people CERTAINLY ARE DOING) is cheating cut and dry per their "guidelines."

I'm also wondering if ACE folks know how to use Google, because CLEARLY the credibility of ALEKS as a credit-source can be checked in about 5 seconds. It makes me wonder if their ACE evaluation is in jeopardy. Johnny is right, a proctored assessment would fix a lot. Tedium is also right, in people's excitement to share their cheating tips (wonder what that motive could be?) ALEKS will, eventually, have to step it up or they'll lose their ACE eval permanently in my opinion.

And here we are.

A bit cryptic. Do you have some insider information about their renewal status being in jeopardy (aside from what we leaned about them not getting reports over to ACE on time)?

Their renewal status is not in jeopardy. I emailed the school and ACE. Both confirmed their intentions on continuing the relationship.

People who abuse this site are the reason there is such a stigma regarding online degrees and classes. The credits mean nothing if you don't retain the knowledge. By all means use the website for help learning the material but please don't rely on it to pass the assessments, you are doing yourself a great disservice. I've taken two Aleks classes so far and am currently on my 3rd, all within a month. The courses are very doable and I retained alot of the material.

I know PLENTY of people in B&M schools that do that all the time. Actually, I think everyone I know has said at least once, "I'm taking this stupid course because I have to, it sucks, I don't care, I'll never use this in life" or something to that effect. They learn enough to pass whatever they don't need for the job they want, and then move on.

I worked in the business world for 10+ years, and NEVER used Algebra or Stats even once. Sometimes, colleges make requirements for degrees that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the real world at all. So if someone just wants to pass a class without getting the knowledge, that's fine by me.

And if you don't like us here on this forum, then why are you here?

but they don't have a relationship. ACE is a credit evaluator. ALEKS has an obligation to meet the demands of ACE, whatever they may be, or lose their ability to offer credit. ALEKS needs ACE, not the other way around. I'm sure no one told you ALEKS will continue as is.
