ALEKs Performance Data for MATH212
The following two graphs show the relationship between how a
student did on their ALEKs and their final course grade for the previous
semesters that have used ALEKs in Calculus I (about 167 students total).
Disclaimer: These
graphs are for information only. If you scored low on ALEKs, you should talk to
your advisor and/or the instructor before dropping the course. If you scored
high on ALEKs, there is no implied guarantee of a desired grade.
The first graph shows the distribution of final course grade
for the given intervals of ALEKs initial assessment scores.
The second graph shows the distribution of final course
grades for the given intervals of the maximum score on ALEKs. (Yes, some
students, typically those that put no effort into ALEKs, do worse on their
final assessment.)
The ALEKs Corporation reports that for the first 15 hours of
work, for each hour logged in the learning portion of ALEKs, your percentage
increases by about 1%. (Again, this is not a promise of success, only an
indication from the data about what it takes to get the desired results.)
