Expert Support for LUO Math Courses — ALEKS, WebAssign & Canvas

About Liberty University Math Requirements

Liberty University operates one of the largest online degree programs in the United States, serving over 100,000 students annually through Liberty University Online (LUO). The university’s mathematics curriculum requires most students to complete at least one quantitative reasoning or math course as part of their general education requirements.

What distinguishes Liberty from other institutions is the integration of Christian worldview throughout all coursework, including mathematics. Students are expected to connect statistical analysis to biblical principles, discuss how mathematical reasoning relates to scriptural truth, and demonstrate thoughtful engagement with faith-based perspectives on knowledge and inquiry. This requirement creates additional cognitive load that many students — particularly international students or those newer to Christianity — find challenging alongside already-difficult course content.

All LUO math courses run on an accelerated 8-week schedule, compressing a full semester into roughly half the time. This pace leaves zero margin for falling behind. Missing one week of content creates cascading comprehension problems for all subsequent modules, with exams occurring every two weeks. The combination of accelerated pacing, multiple platform requirements, and biblical integration expectations makes Liberty’s math courses uniquely demanding.

Platforms: ALEKS and WebAssign

Liberty uses two primary homework platforms for online math courses, which often surprises students who expect a single system. Understanding which platform your course uses is essential for success.

ALEKS (McGraw-Hill)

ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is an adaptive learning platform that personalizes problem sets based on demonstrated knowledge. Liberty uses ALEKS for MATH 114 (Quantitative Reasoning) and MATH 201 (Introduction to Probability and Statistics), as well as the ALEKS PPL placement test that determines course eligibility.

The platform tracks progress through a “pie chart” visualization showing mastered topics, topics in progress, and locked topics awaiting prerequisite completion. While adaptive learning sounds beneficial, ALEKS creates significant frustrations: strict answer formatting that rejects correct answers entered in the “wrong” format, no partial credit on any problems, and the potential for progress regression after poor Knowledge Check performance. Students can literally lose mastery of previously completed topics.

For comprehensive help with ALEKS across all subjects, see our ALEKS Answers hub.

WebAssign (Cengage)

WebAssign handles homework and exams for MATH 115 (Mathematics for Liberal Arts) and MATH 121 (College Algebra). The platform integrates with Cengage textbooks and provides immediate feedback on problem submissions.

WebAssign requires students to achieve minimum scores on review assignments (typically 70%) before unlocking exams. This creates time pressure as students who struggle with reviews find themselves racing against exam deadlines. The platform also has specific formatting requirements and symbolic entry conventions that can reject mathematically correct answers.

For broader WebAssign assistance, visit our WebAssign Answers hub.

Canvas (Learning Management System)

All Liberty courses use Canvas for course organization, announcements, project uploads, discussion boards, and the critical written work submissions that accompany exams. A key point many students miss: completing work in ALEKS or WebAssign is not sufficient. You must also submit written work documentation to Canvas for each exam, or receive an automatic zero regardless of your ALEKS/WebAssign score.

Common Challenges for LUO Students

Liberty’s student body differs significantly from traditional universities. The majority of LUO students are working adults, military personnel, or ministry professionals balancing education with significant life responsibilities. These circumstances create predictable challenges that we see repeatedly.

Challenge	How We Help
8-week accelerated pace leaves no room for falling behind	We maintain consistent weekly progress, ensuring you never miss deadlines regardless of work or family demands
Military deployments and training conflicts interrupt coursework	We continue all coursework during periods when you lose computer access due to service obligations
Biblical integration requirements add complexity beyond math content	Our team understands Liberty’s Christian mission and produces thoughtful worldview integration
Written work submissions forgotten after completing online exams	Every exam includes documented written work uploaded to Canvas — never lose points on this technicality
Multiple platform juggling between ALEKS, WebAssign, and Canvas	We handle all platforms seamlessly, ensuring work is submitted correctly in each system

Frequently Asked Questions

Which platform does my Liberty math course use?

MATH 114 (Quantitative Reasoning) and MATH 201 (Statistics/BUSI 230) use ALEKS. MATH 115 (Liberal Arts Math) and MATH 121 (College Algebra) use WebAssign. All courses also require Canvas submissions for written work and projects. If you’re unsure, check your syllabus or send us your course info and we’ll confirm.

Can you handle the biblical integration requirements?

Yes. Our team includes writers who understand Liberty’s Christian mission and can craft authentic worldview connections. We produce thoughtful integrations that connect course concepts to scriptural principles, Christian ethics, and faith-based perspectives — not superficial “God created math” statements that instructors recognize immediately as hollow.

What about the written work submission requirement for exams?

This is built into our workflow. Every exam we complete includes documented written work showing problem-solving processes, uploaded to the appropriate Canvas assignment before the deadline. You’ll never receive an automatic zero for missing written work — a common mistake that devastates many Liberty students’ grades.

I’m already several weeks behind. Can you still help?

Yes. We regularly help students who’ve fallen multiple weeks behind in Liberty’s fast-paced 8-week courses. We can catch you up on overdue work, complete missed project parts, and ensure you’re ready for upcoming exams. The sooner you contact us, the easier the recovery — but we’ve helped students as late as week 6 successfully finish their courses.

Is MATH 201 the same as BUSI 230?

Yes. MATH 201 (Introduction to Probability and Statistics) and BUSI 230 are cross-listed courses with identical content, assignments, and grading. Business students take it as BUSI 230 while other majors take it as MATH 201. We support both course codes equally.

Do you help with the ALEKS placement test?

Yes. Liberty uses ALEKS PPL for math placement, and your score determines whether you can enroll directly in courses like MATH 121 or must complete developmental courses first. A higher placement score can save you thousands in tuition and weeks of time. Contact us if you need help preparing for or completing the placement assessment.

What’s your grade guarantee?

We guarantee an A or B final grade when we handle complete course management. If we fail to achieve this (which is extremely rare), you receive a refund per our guarantee policy. This guarantee 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 — an exam due tonight, an overdue project — we can often begin same-day. Contact us with your specific deadlines and we’ll confirm our availability immediately.
