FUNNY! My community college and ALEKS
#1
So, I thought you guys might really enjoy this. My local community college Central Piedmont CC reviewed my son's ACE transcript for ALEKS credit. He completed: Beginning, Intermediate, and College Algebra, Pre-Cal, and Stats. I knew they wouldn't take Beginning, but the potential 12 credits made me submit his transcript. So, his review came back, they don't accept these for credit. Ok, not a huge deal for now. We registered him for Intermediate Algebra (where his placement score landed him) and you'll never guess this.....they require him to use ALEKS! FOR THE CLASS!! They want him to come into the computer lab and open his account (which we have to pay for) and the CLASS consists of all the students at desks doing ALEKS while the teacher sits up and helps if needed. AND WE ARE PAYING TUITION on top of this!?! PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thinks this is the most asinine thing you've ever heard in your life. And yes, I've explained that he already took the ALEKS classes. They don't care. :willynilly: Gotta love "the system."
