Study.com - Quiz grading policy unclear and needs to be changed!
#1
So although we have discussed the new quiz grading policy on other threads I wanted to start one specifically about how unclear the grading policy is. Other people have expressed frustration over the same thing on other threads so I'm hoping we can get study.com's attention if we all post on this thread about it.

The problem I have noticed and have seen other people write on here about is that we really have no idea what our quiz portion of our grade will be now. It's a guessing game and that's really frustrating. For example I'm currently working on their Microeconomics course. That course has 114 quizzes and so far I think I have gotten 100% on all of them in the first 3 tries except for about two which I only got 80% within the first three tries. The site shows absolutely nothing except for my very last score on my last attempt at the quiz. It does not show what my highest of 3 tries was so you kind of have to memorize it. I'm almost wondering if study.com even knows.
In addition to this how do those scores translate into the final grade? The syllabus says that you can get up to 50 points for the quizzes so how does each percentage on the 114 quizzes get divided up into those points?
Additionally what about all of the courses that have a few lessons that overlap? If I start a course in a month from now that has a couple quizzes of overlap that I had already taken 3 months ago then is their system really going to remember that I took those before this change and not count the previous attempts? I'm very skeptical.

I don't mean to be petty but I think we really need to be able to see what our final quiz score is before we take the final test. Study.com sprung this on us very suddenly and as other people mentioned they didn't have to make this change for the old courses. Someone on another thread mentioned that it should never be acceptable to change a syllabus halfway through a course which is kind of what they did. I know that I could just stop taking courses through study.com but I really like study.com for a lot of reasons and so I hope they will listen to us and at least make the scoring more clear. They seem to usually listen to their customers pretty well.

If you agree with any of this please comment so that they know how many of us feel the same way! If you don't agree and think I'm being petty then sorry for wasting your time!
Thanks everyone Smile
