Study.com robot checks
#1
Does anyone else keep getting asked to confirm you are not a robot all of a sudden? This has started within the last week and keeps happening. Normally I just check the box and go on my way, but I just finished a 30 question chapter test and when I submitted for the grade the stupid alert came up again instead of the grade. When I was sent back to the dashboard and eventually to my course, I only had 10 of the 30 questions saved from the chapter test. So now I need to do 20 questions over again. Am I doing something wrong? Why would the system keep asking me if I'm a robot? It's more just an annoyance than a real issue, but I am wondering if there is something I can do to stop being asked so often.

It happened to me whenever I've been logged in for many hours or all day. Hopefully it wouldn't interfere with a proctored final!

What's even more annoying is that the check box doesn't appear on my ipad.
I have to log in with my computer to check the box before I can continue using my ipad.
Talk about annoying!

So glad I'm done with study.com, they got really good for awhile then just started falling off right towards the end of my subscription, and now this.... sorry ndelcollo I know you have many more courses left with them Sad
