ALEKS

November 17 update: ALEKS is done. I'll let you know your scores soon.
November 3 Update: I've changed the learning mode cutoff to Monday 17th of November (the day you take the algebra exam). Your final percentage will be the highest out of your assessments and your score in learning mode on that day.
October 2 update: You should have completed the intermediate algebra assessment by now (if you haven't then get on with it!). So now we're working in learning mode. Mouseover your pie to see what topics you need to learn and then you can see ALEKS' explanation of how to do them and do some exercises yourself. When you are ready to take an assessment ALEKS will let you know. If you want to check your percentage, click on the 'report' link in the top right menu bar in ALEKS and scroll down to the 'History' section. Here you can see your percentage score in the assessments you've taken.
NEW ALEKS ASSESSMENT: I've switched you all over to the Intermediate Algebra course. So go to aleks.com and sign in (or sign up if you didn't before, with the new code 6T3QM-RM3HD) and take the Intermediate Algebra assessment. I would like this completed by Wednesday October 1.
Then you'll be in learning mode. Here you do exercises and take assessments when needed with the goal of learning basic algebra and filling up the pie. Your final score will be your percentage in ALEKS multiplied by the 50 points available. The cut-off for learning mode is Monday November 10 but make sure you get started early: experience shows that you might need to put in more than 20 hours to get the best out of ALEKS.
OLD: To register for ALEKS go to the aleks.com website, click on sign up now (top left). Then enter the code VGW6M-GU4YU and follow the instructions (you'll need your student number as well).
OLD: ALEKS assessment instructions
OLD: Please complete the assessment by Friday September 5 (a serious effort is worth 25 points).
