ALEKs Performance Data for MATH160

The following two graphs show the relationship between how a student did on their ALEKs and their final course grade for the last three times I’ve used ALEKs in MATH160 (about 91 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.)
