Accounting
"Many students in my class used ALEKS this quarter...there is a high correlation of those students who went through ALEKS and who were very successful on the exam, which I was delighted to see."
- Professor David Ravetch, UCLA, CA
"There was a dramatic improvement in this [ALEKS] class compared to the average of all my other Financial Accounting classes over the past one and one-half years. Counting the grades of A, B, and C as passing grades, this class had a 35 percent improvement over the average of seven other Financial Accounting classes."
- Professor Harold Royer, Miami Dade Community College, FL
"The use of ALEKS fit my needs perfectly as a tool to get students from various backgrounds to a base level of understanding required at the beginning of Intermediate Accounting. It was also helpful in providing an initial assessment which will be used as a benchmark in the overall process of assessing the effectiveness of the Accounting program."
- Randall P. Bandura, Frostburg State University, MD
"ALEKS fully supports student learning in financial accounting, and is simple to use and administer. ALEKS meets the specific needs of each student in a non-threatening, effective environment. I am very happy with ALEKS!"
- Professor Janet Cassagio, Nassau Community College, NY
"Professor Fatma Cebenoyan at Hunter College class tested ALEKS last spring in Accounting. Apart from the fact that the average grade jumped up 10 points, and it's the first semester she hasn't had to grade with a curve, students have stopped coming to her office hours for extra help! She is AMAZED!"
- Joy Golden, McGraw-Hill Representative
"I did well on the test because I used ALEKS. PERIOD."

Business Statistics
"I really am very pleased with the results in my class this semester after using ALEKS. I did an analysis that was significant at the 10 percent level, and found that for every 10 hours that the students put into ALEKS their final average increased by 2.2 points, I have never had a semester with results this good."
- Professor Terry Sexton, St Josephs College, NY
"I know ALEKS helped me get a better grade. I would have been very confused in the course if we did not use ALEKS."
- Student, Saint Joseph's University, PA
"I just want to say that ALEKS has helped me enormously thus far and I am actually 'getting it'. The explanations and patience that ALEKS provides are priceless. Thank you."
- Student, Virginia Western Community College, VA
Business Math
"Students commented that they liked going at their own pace, and felt a sense of accomplishment as they saw their pie chart fill up. These kids were totally engrossed in doing math with the program. I was also surprised at how little they needed me for additional explanations."
- Professor Carol Smith, California State University, CA
"ALEKS replaces traditional practicals and lab sessions. It is of great help to students who lack practical skills."
- Dr. Dirk Tempelaar, Professor, University of Maastricht, Netherlands
