Has anyone taken the Straighterline Criminal Justice course? There's a discrepancy with the "Grading Criteria" and the course syllabus. The grading criteria shows 12 quizzes (50 points each), a midterm (100 points) and a final (300 points). However, the course syllabus shows the standard 4 graded exams (125 points), midterm (200 points), and final (300 points). Does anyone know which of these is accurate? I would prefer not to take a course with 12 graded quizzes.

I'd go straight to SL to ask - they could have recently changed the course and not updated one or the other (Grading Criteria or Syllabus).
Even if someone on here took it, it may have been different when they did.
Ask SL.

You may already have your answer, but I just finished the courses and it's definitely the standard 4 exams with the midterm and final.
