Figure 4.1: The Answer Editor for Chemical Equations (Assessment)

The Assessment Mode (Fig. 4.1) has a reduced set of active menu buttons enabling the student being assessed to leave the system ("Exit") or get help on use of the Answer Editor ("Help"). Other buttons appear, but they are disabled. All of the ALEKS menu buttons are enabled in the Learning Mode (See Sec. 5.2).

Note that students using ALEKS should not click their browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons. Only the navigation tools that are part of the ALEKS interface should be used.

The two aspects of the ALEKS interface relevant to work in the Assessment Mode are the Answer Editor and the Assessment Report.
