ALEKS Statistics Is Very Humbling

[dposborne]

I too took Calc up through Calc IV and Linear Algebra. Math is one of my favorite subjects. Aleks Stats to me was no joke. When I initially signed up I decided to take the College Algebra assessment just to see how learning with Aleks worked and I scored in the mid 90's, so I thought Aleks would be a breeze. It took me over 40 hours to get through Intro to Stats through Aleks and I hated every minute of it. I went through a ream of paper printing out all of the examples and their multiple iterations. In the end I hit 69.6 and they conveniently rounded it up to 70 to satisfy the ACE requirement.

Its comical because I chose to use Aleks for stats to bypass the headache of taking an actual class. If I had it to do all over again I would choose taking the class over Aleks in a heartbeat.
