Hi all!
Just thought I'd post my Aleks experience thus far. I started Beginning Algebra on Monday, 11/9 and finished it yesterday. I found Aleks to be very user friendly but, I have to say that the subject matter was not something that I found the least bit fun or interesting. :p I see Algebra, Precalc, etc., as something I have to do to finish a business degree but not something that I'd ever go near otherwise.
A big shout out to Gary - I love you, man!! - for sharing the math websites that were helpful to him during his trevails in this subject. I found them equally helpful. I am surprised to admit that I have actually learned some math! Now, maybe I can help my 4th grader with his homework without having to google everything. BTW, how did our parents ever get through homework with us without the benefit of google?
Well, I am on to Intermediate Algebra or whatever it is that they call the next one. Hopefully, it won't be too painful.
Thanks to everyone for there help and encouragement. Also, to any mathphobes out there (no, Categ, I wasn't looking specifically at you
), believe me if I can do this, anyone can.
Have a great one,
Kelly
