I am an Organic Chemistry student and trying to use ALEX is by far the hardest part of the class. They repeditaly count right answers wrong or on multiple choice the don't even have the right answer. The customer support is extremely unhelpful and has not responded to any of my emails about the issue. I know my professor is upset with them about all these problems yet they refuse to change anything. Again the hardest part of Organic Chemistry is this program.

I hate it so much. The "Smart Textbook" isn't about learning, it's about getting stuff done. The slideshows and textbooks don't line up. The slideshows are inaccurate. My professor is crashing out rn because how the heck do smartphones and home equity have in common?!

As someone who uses Aleks quite often, I've come to think about how terrible it is. Every time I get a question wrong, it tries so hard to explain it, but it really just doesn't help AT ALL. I've had to use this program for 4 years now, each worse than before.

Honestly, I would give 0 stars if I could, Alek puts all my peers through torture every week, they expect me to do 10 topics a week and get into algebra? Heck no! It will mark my answers wrong for not capitalizing letters, and why does it have to add a graph to EVERY QUESTION. When am I ever going to be doing angles and use a line graph. Overall if you're looking for a math program DO NOT waste your money or time on Alek- it's basically torture.

Okay, so I was doing history for McGraw Hill and it says “type the answer.” So I do, and it gets listed as wrong. Astonishing part, the correct answer is the exact same as the answer I inputted. Fix this bullshit website now!

Their online software is the absolute worst garbage I've ever used and they know it's a crime to charge $140 for it. My professor sometimes has to make points adjustments because I can't figure out why an answer is marked as wrong and then when she looks at it, she confirms that I have the right answer. This software and company are that staggeringly bad. The way I vet future courses from now on will include making sure they use nothing from McGraw Hill.
