I agree that if people want to cheat, it's their business and not mine.
However, I feel that the ability for a student to use this website cheapens the legitimacy of other students who have actually worked through the ALEKS courses and EARNED their credits for these courses. It's no different than a student having an essay writing website write their capstone project for them. Cheating the system cheats the student out of that knowledge, but it also cheats other students by making their degree seem less legitimate. It's already an up-hill battle for competency based education, and people taking these shortcuts are making it THAT much harder for it to catch on.
