The ALEKS Learning Mode allows students to practice topics they are ready to learn. When students successfully solve a series of problems of the same type, ALEKS will add this problem type or "topic" to the student's pie chart. If a student experiences difficulty with a topic, ALEKS will attempt to help the student in several ways. Students receive immediate feedback on their answers. Examples of how to solve the problems will be displayed on the "Explain" pages. The "Explain" pages link to definitions of terms and a comprehensive dictionary.
