Article on Successful ALEKS Implementation at Colorado State University
Instructors
"My students have become better problem solvers since I have implemented ALEKS into my Introductory Chemistry course. They ask fewer questions regarding the logistics of solving problems in chemistry, and more in-depth meaning-making questions. I have also seen an improvement in their success on exams."
- Associate Professor Rebecca Krystyniak, St. Cloud University, MN
"What stands out is the performance of several students who failed the readiness test by a few points but were allowed to stay in Physics 111 because they demonstrated a good proficiency level in ALEKS. Two such students ended up getting A grades in the course, and one of these was in the top 8% of the class. Three other students in this category received B grades. Without ALEKS, these students would have been dropped from the course. These five students all put in 15-20 hours or more with ALEKS, and it is fairly clear that they benefited from that work."
- Professor James M. Lockhart, San Francisco State University, CA
Students
"I'm finding the ALEKS homework very helpful and wish other professors would adopt such a system. It's almost like having a personal tutor."
