Is ALEKS Necessary

By: Jack Welch 3/20/24

Do you think we should have to do ALEKS and it is necessary? If you don’t know what ALEKS is, it is a website that helps teach you math or science. A lot of people don’t like ALEKS and think that we shouldn’t have to do it but today I am going to tell you why we should have to do it and why it is necessary.

One reason why ALEKS is necessary is that it can help bring your grades up. This is important because some people can have bad grades and since ALEKS is for a grade each week it can really help your grades if you do it. If you want to, you can also do extra topics for extra credit. For example McGraw Hill says, “ALEKS Math increases student success by 11% at Arizona State University.” This shows that ALEKS can really help students bring their grades up. That is one of my reasons why I think ALEKS is necessary.

Another reason why I think that we should have to do ALEKS and it is necessary is it can help you know where you are and what you need to work on. This is important because it makes you and helps you work on what you are struggling with. For example McGraw Hill also says, “Students always know where they are, how they are doing, and can track their own progress easily.” This shows that it can help students know what they need to do and where they are. That is another one of my reasons why I think we should have to do ALEKS and why I think it is Necessary.

My last reason why I think we should have to do ALEKS and why it is necessary is that it makes it so that you are able to work at your own pace. This is important because everyone works at a different pace and it makes it so you can’t fall behind.For example Morgan State University says, “Not only does the site allow students to work at their own pace but they can also study material for a higher math course if they wish to do so.” This shows that you can work at your own pace and you can’t fall behind. It also shows that if you want to you can even work ahead. That is my last reason why I think ALEKS is necessary.

Eric Peden says “ALEKS is necessary because it forces you to take responsibility to do your topics while teaching you math.”ALEKS is a great way to learn because it can help bring your grades up, it can help you know where you are and what you need to work on, and it makes it so that you are able to work at your own pace. For those and more reasons ALEKS a great way to learn.
