I hate you ALEKS!!!

[bricabrac]

That one took me longer than I'd planned to. One interesting note - my adviser warned me not to take too many Aleks.com or FEMA classes, as they're not assigned a grade (at least at TESC), and, to him, it was "the easy way out" (guess he hasn't taken any, then)

I find it interesting that s/he should warn you against taking the least expensive courses for credit. Wonder if he also considers CLEP/DSST/TECEP and all ACE transcribed courses the easy way out? Last time I checked they are not assigned grades. There is nothing "easy" about ALEKS courses, college algebra and above are actually quite the opposite. Emergency preparedness is some of the most important practical knowledge anyone can have given the nature of natural disasters, not to mention the hazardous situations that happen in the home and workplace. (I always volunteer as a member of the company safety committee and evacuation teams so I probably take this subject more seriously than most.) In my opinion that advisor really needs to rethink his/her priorities and leave the personal hang-ups at home.
