If you haven’t met the Algebra requirements for application but don’t want to enroll in a semester long class, then ALEKS® may be for you!
WHAT IS ALEKS®?
ALEKS is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids multiple choice questions. A student who shows a high level of mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course she is taking.
ALEKS also provides the advantages of one-on-one instruction, 24/7, from virtually any web-based computer for a fraction of the cost of a human tutor.
Successful completion of the ALEKS® Algebra course with the final assessment taken at the training center will meet the Algebra requirement for application. ALEKS is also helpful for those who need to refresh their math skills.
