First off I'd like to mention that I've almost given up on ALEKS: Introduction to Satistics. I've achieved 62% at the highest mark. Every assessment is 25 questions. Usually when I hit Question #18 it increases in difficulty. I've probably spent over 150 hours. Watched all of Khan Acadeny, YouTube, open courses, etc. ALEKS course structure is very different. It bothers me that when I get to a specific topic and clearly answer it incorrectly ... You get 3 to 4 similar questions that follow. However, just about to move on from Satistics and looking for feedback on other options.
1. DSST - I figure since I can't grasp really anything "Self teaching" in the Statistics area that DSST wouldn't be an option for me to pass the DSST. Need feed back on this. I'd prefer this route but videos are also killing me.
2. SL: Level of difficulty ? Proctored?
3. Sophia: I read a great review on this somewhere here. Looking for more info. Ace accredited ?
4. Saylor.org: Free course with 25 dollar proctor fee
5. TECEP: I'd love to be able to take a shot at this. Not confident.
I'm not the type of person to give up on things however I'm very frustrated with ALEKS and have worked it on and off for about 8 months on introduction to Statistics. With two little rascals age 7 and 5 running around "Self Teaching" statistics is painful.
Just looking for feedback. I know none of them are "Easy" it's just the ALEKS is killing me and I'd like to get some feedback on experience. 1. Who has been in my situation with ALEKS . 2. Who has experience with any of the alternate methods listed 3. Time it took to complete the alternate option
I know we have a million posts on this. Primarily looking for feedback from ALEKS dropouts of Introduction to Statistics and what alternate option you choose.
I have the areas I'm week on in ALEKS. They are just very difficult to Self Teach.
Thank you. Looking for some motivation ! Perhaps this post can consolidate the others in similar threads.
