Is it normal for an instructor to not have a posttest graded after 4 days?
#1
Good morning, I took my first posttest on Tuesday at noon, for my Organizational Communication course, and haven't gotten a grade back. I know I can move forward and do more posttests, but I was really hoping to have one graded, so I can have a rough idea of what the instructor is looking for in the open-ended questions. 

My Organizational Leadership instructor on the other hand has graded 4 of my posttests in the same timeframe. Is there something I'm missing or is this normal?

Well without knowing what school you’re asking about. We have no way of knowing what the turn around time for grading should be. But generally a returned grade within 72 business hours is about the longest you would expect. Whatever school your in should have provided direction on what to do if you haven’t received a grade within XX amount of hours. Such as email the instructor or your academic advisor.

Apologies, I am in fact at ETAMU. I made a mistake and thought this sub-forum was specifically for ETAMU, sorry.

Thank you for your insight.
