It is important that students always do their best, and only use “I Don’t Know” if they truly don’t know what to do.  \nMcGraw-Hill | Support At Every Step 3  \n Benefits of Knowledge Checks  \nIn a non-ALEKS course, students who may not perform well on an often do not know what they need to do to improve. ALEKS takes care of this for students by identifying topics that need more practice.  \nOther benefits to Knowledge Checks:  \n1. Immediate feedback on topics to review  \nStudent Knowledge Check results will show any topics they had learned, but did not show mastery of, and therefore need to revisit. Students can then review those specific topics that need more practice prior to a graded assignment or assessment.  \n2. Credit for mastery of material  \nIf students are showing mastery of their learned material on a Knowledge Check ALEKS will reach into their Ready-to-Learn topics. This means students can gain topics without practicing them in Learning Mode!  \n Knowledge Check Notifications  \nThe Knowledge Check icon eliminates the surprise of a Progress Knowledge Check popping up during a work session.  \nIt is important to note that the time mentioned , 5 hours in ALEKS, is time spent actively working in ALEKS not regular clock hours.  \nNeeds More Practice Topics  \nIf students fail to retain topics on a Knowledge Check they can immediately go into Learning Mode and use the “Needs More Practice” filter to identify those topics they need to relearn.  \nNote: it takes fewer correct answers to gain topics back than it did to “learn” them, students need only complete a 3-segment learning cycle instead of the original 5-segment cycle.  \nThe Detailed Progress Report  \nProgress Knowledge Checks are where growth occurs. You can see a student’s learning progress by looking at the Detailed Progress Report.  \nScheduling Knowledge Checks  \nYou have the option to schedule Knowledge Checks at appropriate times for your class to assess student retention and mastery.  \nThere are two types of knowledge checks that can be scheduled:  \n• Scheduled Progress Knowledge Checks  \nThese are good for review of recent material and fit in nicely in place of traditional Quizzes.  \n• Scheduled Comprehensive Knowledge Checks  \nThese are good for assessing knowledge of the entire course and are an excellent substitute for a traditional Test, or even a traditional Final Exam, as it can accurately determine a student’s knowledge of all course topics.  \n Assigning a Scheduled Knowledge Check  \nGo to the Assignments tab, select “Schedule Knowledge Check” and follow the steps to assign.  \nSupport and Resources  \nTECH SUPPORT & FAQ:  \nCALL: (800) 258-2374  \nEMAIL & CHAT: [aleks.com/support](aleks.com/support)  \n[MONDAY-THURSDAY:](MONDAY-THURSDAY: 7 AM)[ 7 AM](MONDAY-THURSDAY: 7 AM) – 1 AM EST  \nFRIDAY: 7 AM – 9 PM EST  \nSUNDAY: 4 PM – 1 AM EST  \nFIND MORE SUPPORT:  \n[supportateve","cbCaibKLzhwNDoVS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibKLzhwNDoVS","pdf",446614,"English","# Instructors\n## Student Frustration\n## The Progress Knowledge Check\n## Benefits of Knowledge Checks\n## Knowledge Check Notifications\n## Needs More Practice Topics\n## The Detailed Progress Report\n## Scheduling Knowledge Checks\n## Assigning a Scheduled Knowledge Check\n## Support and Resources","[{\"question\":\"Why do some students get frustrated with Progress Knowledge Checks in ALEKS?\",\"answer\":\"Some students see Knowledge Checks as a barrier to completing other coursework, especially when trying to fit too much work into a short time frame and encounter multiple checks.\"},{\"question\":\"How should instructors explain the purpose of a Progress Knowledge Check?\",\"answer\":\"Instructors should encourage students to view Progress Knowledge Checks as a non-punitive review that follows learning progress and uses the student’s individual learning path.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main benefits of Knowledge Checks?\",\"answer\":\"Knowledge Checks provide immediate feedback on topics needing review and can grant credit for mastery by reaching into Ready-to-Learn topics without requiring additional Learning Mode practice.\"}]","How To Talk To Your Students About Knowledge Checks - ALEKS Training Series | PDF",1790468198,25]
