Quantitative Reasoning — ALEKS Homework, Projects & Exams

About MATH 114 at Liberty University

MATH 114: Quantitative Reasoning is Liberty University’s applied mathematics course focusing on real-world problem solving, spreadsheets, financial applications, and data analysis. The course emphasizes practical mathematical literacy over abstract algebraic manipulation — students learn to apply mathematical tools to situations they’ll actually encounter in careers and daily life.

What sets MATH 114 apart from MATH 115 (Liberal Arts Math) is the heavy focus on spreadsheet applications and financial mathematics. Students work extensively with data analysis, budgeting scenarios, and quantitative decision-making. The course description emphasizes applying “mathematical tools” to practical problems and developing competency in interpreting quantitative information.

The course runs on Liberty’s accelerated 8-week online schedule using ALEKS (McGraw-Hill) for homework and exams. Projects applying course concepts to real-life situations are submitted through Canvas, along with the required written work submissions for all exams.

Assignment Breakdown

MATH 114 combines ALEKS adaptive learning with applied projects requiring real-world application of concepts.

ALEKS Homework (Weekly)

Each module includes homework exercises completed through ALEKS’s adaptive learning system. The platform tracks mastery through a pie chart visualization, generating personalized problems based on demonstrated knowledge. ALEKS is strict about answer formatting — correct reasoning can receive zero credit if entered in the wrong format.

Exam Review Assignments (70% Required)

Before each exam, you must complete an Exam Review in ALEKS and score at least 70%. The exam remains locked until you hit this threshold. Reviews can be retaken, but struggling students often spend hours trying to unlock exams as deadlines approach.

Exams + Written Work Submissions

Four exams administered through ALEKS, each covering two modules of material. Exams are timed, open-book/open-notes, and have a 2-hour 45-minute time limit. You must document your work on paper while completing each exam, then scan or photograph this written work and upload it to a separate Canvas assignment. Exams without written work submissions receive automatic zeros.

Real-World Projects

Projects applying course concepts to practical situations — financial planning, data analysis, quantitative decision-making. These are submitted through Canvas and require both mathematical calculations and written explanation of your reasoning and conclusions.

Topics Covered

MATH 114 emphasizes practical mathematical applications over abstract theory:

The most common struggle points are financial mathematics (compound interest, amortization schedules) and the spreadsheet-based projects. Students comfortable with basic math often struggle when asked to apply concepts to realistic scenarios with multiple variables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What platform does MATH 114 use?

MATH 114 uses ALEKS (McGraw-Hill) for homework and exams. Canvas is used for course organization, project submissions, and written work submissions. Both platforms are required.

What’s the difference between MATH 114 and MATH 115?

Both are general education math courses for non-STEM majors, but they differ in focus and platform. MATH 114 uses ALEKS and emphasizes spreadsheets, financial applications, and data analysis. MATH 115 uses WebAssign and covers broader topics including logic, probability, geometry, and consumer math. Your degree program determines which course you take.

What’s the written work submission requirement?

For every exam, you must document your problem-solving work on paper while completing the exam in ALEKS. After submitting, you scan or photograph this written work and upload it to a separate Canvas assignment. Exams without written work submissions receive automatic zeros.

Do you handle the real-world projects?

Yes. We complete the projects with proper mathematical calculations and written explanations. These projects apply course concepts to practical scenarios like budgeting, financial planning, and data analysis — we handle both the quantitative work and the written components.

I’m already behind. Can you catch me up?

Yes. We regularly help students who’ve fallen behind in Liberty’s 8-week format. We can complete overdue ALEKS work, finish missed projects, pass exam reviews to unlock exams, and get you back on track. The sooner you contact us, the easier the recovery.

What’s the grade guarantee?

We guarantee an A or B final grade when we handle complete course management. If we fail to achieve this, you receive a refund per our guarantee policy. This applies when we manage all graded components from the point you hire us through course completion.

How quickly can you start?

Usually within 24 hours of receiving your course access and payment. For urgent situations, we can often begin same-day.
