So like if you do the quizzes and the final and you get 100 on both, and the final project counts for 20% of your grade, then you're at 80 already without the final project, so they just pass you, because there's no way you could fail even with a bad project.
Now on some courses, the project(s) are 50% of your grade or something, so you can't do that. It just depends. But all of them pass you when you hit a passing grade, so if 3 projects are "required" you can often pass the course with just 2. You just need to check the rubric. For instance on the UL Study.com Civil War course, one of the papers counts for twice as much credit as the other one for some reason, iirc. So I would do that one first and then just see.
If you bomb the test and your quiz score wasn't so great, then you can forget all that.
The Operating Systems class in question has assignments worth 33% of the grade, so you can't just not submit those assignments even with a perfect score on the exam and quizzes. The same is true of every class of theirs I've seen that has assignments, including the UL Civil War course (and both assignments on that course are worth the same, though I know that part isn't true for all courses, e.g. the Holocaust course). They also didn't pass me on any of my UL courses until I had submitted all of the assignments, even though I always had more than enough points to pass after the first one. I think your information may be off here.
For classes that have multiple assignments, you do not have to do all of them. If you take the final and submit at least one assignment, you can submit a blank paper that says "I am not submitting this assignment". I just recently did this in English Comp at SDC.
Provider: TEEX
Course: Death Investigation (Online)
Course content: 49 Question pre-test, 9 modules without quizzes at the end, and post test.
Final exam format: 49 multiple choice and T/F questions. You get three (3) attempts at passing (70%).
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: I feel like the same questions were on pre and post test and covered in the content. If you remember what was on pre test, it's what's on post test.
Time taken on course: About 8 hours
Familiarity with subject before course: Not very familiar unless you count watching every season of Forensic Files multiple times. I did take notes which came in handy post test.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: There are some pretty graphic photos in here and was really dreading the child ones that people had previously mentioned. The child ones are not graphic like the others so it was much better than I had anticipated. The class employs technology where there are a lot of pop-ups so if you don't see something, look behind the window you are in and also, you have to click on every single module and item within them to move ahead.
