Also, not knowing what the stat symbols meant took me longer to understand the explanations. I finally printed out a chart of all the symbols, and was able to refer to the chart - made life much easier for me.
Yep, 100% agree. I was moving incredibly slowly through the pie until I found the videos and learned all of the tricks of the ALEKS calculator. I was accomplishing nothing using the ALEKS instructions. Once I learned the shortcuts with the calculator, it was smooth for the most part. It's really a shame ALEKS doesn't give tutorials about their own calculator and the hidden features. Some questions that previously took 30-40 minutes to figure out and work the math, literally were answered with a few clicks of the calculator and 2 minutes of time. John Wood is my hero.
