Personal Finance Study.com

Has anyone found any errors in this course? I've found totally incorrect information (it was something very, very minor), questions with four options simply stating "undefined" and many typos or poorly worded questions and definitions. So far, I'm loving study.com, but just wondering if we're supposed to be reporting these?

Here's an example. I've tried to cut off the question so it's not "cheating," but as this question requires a calculation (yes, very basic, I know), it's very important
that the numbers are typed in accurately.

Again, totally satisfied with study.com. Just wondering if you guys noticed anything or report anything. I actually kind of like proofreading. Smile

I've noticed the same thing. I believed I reported it. I know that I definitely complained about the typos in the feedback, after I completed the course. Their other courses aren't as bad as Personal Finance though.

Hi lillingworth-

Thank you for bringing up the errors and typos you are seeing! At this time, we are experiencing some bugs on our site related to quiz questions. The bugs are causing a variety of small issues, including the "undefined" answer options that you saw. We are working hard to resolve these bugs, so those issues should be fixed shortly!

Also, you can submit any typos or inaccuracies through the Support tab on any lesson. Please include the lesson name and the exact spot you noticed the error. We appreciate your diligence in helping us improve our courses, and we are happy to fix these errors as quickly as we can!

Best,
The Study.com Team
