I just started SDC to hopefully get through 9 UL courses by the end of this year. I flew through the quizzes for my first course and am getting ready to take the final. Supposing I get a high score on the final and have 99 points from the quizes, can I do a pretty rushed job on the papers to get above 210 points in the course, or will they not accept them? Does anybody have any experience with this, trying to do well on quizes and tests and not as well on the papers to save time & effort?
I'm studying at COSC and planning on graduating with a BS in Liberal Arts. So far I have completed:

You have to submit something for them to grade, but they don't appear to force you to achieve much. I had a course where I submitted a very incomplete draft (maybe a tenth of the requirement) and they scored it appropriately (already had enough points to pass from the quizzes/final/1st assignment). Some users have reported being to upload something that says "I'd like to skip this/take a 0" and SDC allows it, but I didn't try that method.

Considering all the answers to quizzes are given in answer key, that is easy. That's a guaranteed 100 points to start with. All you have to do is score high on final. And papers need only 10 points. So try your best on papers only to make sure to compensate for any points you won't get on final (flashcards help with studying for final)

I definitely second the advice to take the final at least once before submitting any papers. Good papers can compensate for poor test results and vice versa. You have 3 total attempts to take the final + I believe you can resubmit your papers. This makes it pretty easy to pass SDC courses that have papers! The ones without papers are a bit more difficult because of the extra weight added to the final exam.
