What i s ALEKS? ?
?


Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces
is a Web-based, artificially intelligent
assessment and learning system.
The Math for College Readiness course is an
ALEKS course.
ALEKS

ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to determine which skills you have
already mastered and which skills need more practice (remediation).

ALEKS then instructs you on the topics you are ready to learn.

ALEKS periodically reassesses you to ensure that the topics you have
mastered are also retained.

complete your pretest you will be shown a pie divided into 5 parts (each
being a module) You need to complete the remedial concepts for each
module to master all concepts within that module, and then you are able
to take the test/quiz for that module.
How much work to complete every week? For this course, you will be
required to submit at least of the remedial concepts needed to be
mastered in a module each week. If you are unable to submit that
amount of work, then you will be required to be logged into the class for a

How do I get graded for tests-? Each module totals 200 points. You are
required to complete ALL the concepts in Modules 1 and 6. This will give you
100 points for completing all the concepts on the pie slice. When you complete
the module test, you will earn another 100 points.
For Segment One-(Modules 2, 3, 4, 5) and Segment Two-(Modules 7, 8, 9, 10)
you are not required to complete 100% of the concepts. ALEKS will allow
you take the test once you have completed 70% of the concepts. Your final
grade, points earned, in these modules will depend on the number of concepts
mastered. Please contact your instructor with any questions.
Do I get grades for the pretest or progress assessments? No, depending on
how well you do on each, it will add concepts needed to be remediated on your
pie or remove the concepts that have been mastered.
