Course Requirements:

need to learn
• Topics - learn course material by reviewing learning pages and completing the topics
within each ‘slice’ of the ‘pie’
• Homework Assignments - each assignment is made up of 5 questions; there are multiple
assignments per ‘slice’; you can redo any homework assignment and your best grade is
counted towards your course grade
• Tests – 4 or 5 tests (depending on the course), you can redo a test once and your best
test grade is counted towards your course grade
• Knowledge Checks – once you complete 90% of the topics within a ‘slice’ then an
automatic assessment will by generated by the ALEKS program; you will have to redo
any topics you get wrong on an automatic assessment
• Final Exam Review – helps you prepare for the final exam; can be redone as many times
as you like and your best grade is counted towards your course grade
