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!
