StraighterLine English Composition II - Inconsistent Grading?

[frank.f.franky]

So basically, submitting the draft option is a pointless waste of time?

Bingo, just do well on the quizzes.  

The writing portion is only worth 35%ish, so if you score in the plus 80% on quizzes, your good with a 50% on the writing.

Unless I totally bombed on the math, the writing portion is currently 50%.  (At some point in 2017, they seem to have redesigned the course, because the assignments listed are different from the ones in most past posts about it here in the forum.)  But still, you're right that it isn't necessary to get spectacular grades on the writing assignments.

I did the math again, writing is worth 400 points or 40%
