McGraw-HillReviews of aleks.com

sometimes when I want to chill out my teacher tells me to do Aleks. After that I never wanted to blow up more. I hate Aleks.

I HATE ALEKS GRRRRRRRRRR ITS SO BORING AND NO FUN AT ALL 1/4 IS THE SAME THING AS 2/8!! 👿👿👿

Boring, repetitive, and overall a not well put together app

ALEKS is a very punishing experience, choosing to punish students over learning. There are a lot of problems with this app, which I will not write here, but if you search it up on Reddit, you will see why.

Worst service of all time. My acsess code ran out a week before my final and I had to repurchase an $132 new acsess code. Not to mention if u mistype one charecter you get the whole problem wrong. I hope collages stop using this awful service and switch to pen and paper.

dogs*** site tbh, the graph and line making is by far the worst thing i have ever used

McGraw Hill is Horrible. They constantly log you out, even if you're active. Apparently after 4 hours it logs you out no matter what... Why?! Even if you click "stay logged in"! Teachers use it as a way to not teach, which isn't totally McGraw Hill's fault, but it shouldn't be the whole class, but a supplement. The read out loud is nice, but it needs improvement. It's very difficult to skip to the spot you want to read to, and you have to fast-forward with this itty bitty progress bar. If you try to read ahead or go back it stops the reading. Again, why? The tests are okay, but if you get an answer wrong, it will highlight in the book where the information is, but the indicator blocks the first word or part of the answer. Their use of serif and sans-serif font isn't well-done or feels intentional enough, I don't mean that as a nit-picky thing, but it's distracting. The yellow used to highlight information is too saturated, and is also very distracting. It's horribly expensive as well, they should be ashamed. My biggest issue though is teachers replacing it with teaching. All my assignments (homework and quizzes) are through McGraw Hill. I am online and there's no lectures, either. No discussions, just reading, multiple choice questions, and fill in the blanks. The grading is automatic, so the teacher really isn't doing much but having office hours, answering a couple questions and emails.

Truly unfortunate I can't give them no stars. Without a doubt the worst learning tool ever created. The textbook sucks; there is no algorithm to view spelling errors, it is nothing but busy work, and worst of all, it only accepts answers McGraw deems as correct. It could be as simple as "Type the letter C," but you'll get it wrong for entering a lowercase letter rather than a capital letter. I cannot explain how completely terrible and unusable McGraw is. On top of that, it costs $150 for 6 months of access. At least I can sell a physical textbook instead of just being out an additional $150. I love paying thousands of dollars to an institution and professor just for them to outsource my education on my dime. Truly unfortunate I can't give them no stars.

Any teaching professional who utilizes this service should be blacklisted from education. Screw McGraw and the people who enforce their continued success.
