I hate you ALEKS!!!
I am in ALEKS Intro Statistics HELL:reddevil: How did you ever do this. I need to get this done like yesterday and my husband is trying to help and I am only at 43%. I flew through the first part, but now I am bogging down.
This stuff is impossible, I NEED to get this done ASAP to get a job.

If anyone has any ideas how to speed this up PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! HELPbanghead

Sheer memorization. Memorize the formulas, figure them out inside and out, and just keep chugging along.

Ok, for those struggling with aleks intro to stats or any other math course here is a website that makes it fun to learn:

go to:
http://interactmath.com/ChapterContents.aspx

scroll until you find this book and submit. it takes you to the books interactive problems. its a very basic and easy way to learn the problems.
  • "Triola: Elementary Statistics, 11e" (I have a lot of his material, excellent stats book and his learning tools are great.)
another really nice one
  • "Larson: Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 4e"
when you feel comfortable move to
  • "Weiss: Introductory Statistics, 8e"
for those of you interested in precalculus
  • Lial: College Algebra and Trigonometry, 4e
  • Lial: Precalculus, 4e
The two buttons: "Help me solve this" and "View and Example" are your best friends!!


There are also other stats books, all maths including business math (Miller: Business Mathematics, 11e) to choose from for practice problems.

Enjoy!! It's addicting and a lot of fun!!

Now that is the first time I've heard ALEKS called addicting or fun. There must be a generational, or geographical, or societal gap here of some sort. Addicting things are usually things that shouldn't be done but are difficult to stop, fun is something I want to do that I often shouldn't. ALEKS is something I don't want to do and can't seem to continue doing. So ...

LOL - my husband is *definitely* addicted to ALEKS! I'd say they have a 'love/hate' relationship! He's doing *all* the math, too (Excelsior's BSEET, he's needing the algebra/trig/precalc stuff before tackling the required calcs).

I used ALEKS for biz stats, and was very VERY happy to finally finish...glad for the credit but some days a root canal sounded like more fun!

You people are all crazy! ALEKS makes me question the value of life and all things I hold dear!

:iagree: Rickyjo ALEKS is like my worst nightmare/the most embarrassing moment in life/a bad day at the office all rolled into one. I NEED to get this done I have just put my whole carreer path on hold for a week (or maybe longer), but I needed to get away from ALEKS or I might have killed someone.
Now I have to get back to it, but as Scarlet said Tomorrow is another day.

Once I finish this statistics course I never want to look at ALEKS again:p

I am in end-stage addiction. I took Quant Methods after ALEKS and I'm now considering this.
