Seeing student progress for algebra basics

I would love an answer to this as well!

KA is a constant work in progress.  Unfortunately, that means that not all courses can be assigned to the students by the teacher.  Progress can't be seen on courses that are being Beta'd or are not considered complete.  This is the case for the Algebra Basics course, as far as I can tell.
