For the Forum's reference, =
No disrespect intended - (just my experience - with my understanding, and no thought or desire of cheating).
I had no idea we could cheat in statistics and ALEKS.
Oh - by the way, Everyone thinks we all cheat now. (Evidenced by online proctors.)
When I took ALEKS Statistics a few years ago, I had no idea what ALEKS was, or what Statistics was, tho I intuitively knew and understood the concepts.
So, innocently, I went to local big box store and bought a calculator saying Statistics on front cover advertisement = TI (whatever) with a tiny unreadable 1,000 page manual. It was all Useless, because I was so overwhelmed with meaningless drag. (That calculator actually held me back a Lot.)
It never occurred to me to cheat. I was trying to understand something that I assumed everyone else already knew.
Low and behold - I had to actually read the ALEKS material, and figure it out for myself. Once I buckled down, after a few weeks and hours, it happened, the light bulbs lit up.
Now I know that all statistics and Polls can be fudged, based on perception, and goals.
......
And there were no actual instructions for the ALEKS calculator when I took it and passed. It was all point by point instructions from ALEKS.
