Once you have registered, ALEKS will take you through a brief tutorial on how to navigate the system and enter your answers.
You will then need to complete an initial Assessment.
It is crucial that you make an honest attempt on this and all Assessments so ALEKS can accurately update what you know and what you are ready to learn.
Over the course of the term, you will be reassessed from time to time to ensure that you are retaining the material.

Assessments
Upon completion of a given Assessment, ALEKS will generate a pie chart of what you know and what you are ready to learn next. This is called MyPie.
The dark portions of each piece of your pie show what you have mastered in that area of the course, while the lighter portions show what you have yet to learn.
Your goal is to fill in your pie as completely as possible by the end of the term.

Assessments
To stay on track in this course, you will be required to meet various Intermediate Objectives in your pie as we progress through the term.
The Intermediate Objective that is due next will be displayed in the form of dotted white lines in the various pieces of your pie.
To meet the current Intermediate Objective, you will need to fill in your pie up to each of the dotted white lines by the specified due date.

To begin working on filling in your pie, drag your mouse over one of the pieces you need to work on (they have an arrow next to the pie slice name).
Doing so will display a list of the topics you are ready to work on in that area of the pie.
Now choose the topic in the list that you would like to work on next and click on it to enter the Learning Mode.

In the Learning Mode, you will be presented with problems. If you know how to solve a problem, enter the answer and click Next. If you do not know how to solve a particular problem, you may click on the Explain button for help. Clicking on Explain will allow you to view a step-by-step explanation of that specific problem.
Some additional materials may also be available to you under Additional Resources.
When you are ready to return to working on problems, click on the Practice button.

When you return, you will be presented with a new problem to try and solve. Enter your answer and click Next.
Once you are able to correctly answer a specified number of problems in a row without any help (i.e. without clicking on Explain), that topic will be filled in on your pie.
Important Note: Having topics added to your pie is not permanent! If you fail to show mastery of a given topic on a future Assessment, it will be removed from your pie and you will need to return to the Learning Mode to practice additional problems to have it filled back in on your pie.

Keys to Success
ALEKS + Effort = Success

Remember…
• ALEKS provides learning based on your specific needs, not simply “one size fits all”
• Periodic Assessments will ensure you are mastering concepts – expect them from time to time
• Take each Assessment seriously as your “MyPie” will be affected by your performance - if you’re not ready to complete the assessment right then, take a break and come back later
