Warning about Brightspace Modules

[yc1981]

So I found today that Brightspace will not leave a module incomplete or flag you in any way if you don't pass a milestone with a 3. I got all the way to the end of a class and couldn't figure out what was going on, because even though absolutely everything had a check mark next to it, and there was nothing flagged up, my final draft submission area would not open up. I finally got ahold of the learning support team and they said my second milestone from over a month ago had not received a passing score. I went back and looked and there's nothing really unusual to flag up that the score isn't passing, if the professor doesn't specifically say so in the notes. This is very different to every other online course platform I have used before, where either it won't allow you to progress til the milestone is a passing score, or at least it will leave it showing incomplete or flagged somehow. In UMPI, as you can see from the screenshot, all it says is "Well Done! You have completed the assignment". LOL. And all the modules just show check marks. So yeah just wanted to post this for any new UMPI Yourpace students so you know to carefully check the number on your score.

Ouch! That seems very easy to overlook.

Anything lower than a 3 is less than a B, correct? That's what I thought, they want everything to at least be at that level before passing you. It's just strange that the system doesn't auto flag or note you haven't pass that on the previous pages, they should update that area if at all possible...

Yes you have to get a 3 to pass the module, in spite of the user interface saying the module is completed. Definitely easy to overlook. Thankfully my professor let me submit my final draft by email but others might not have been so helpful.

This happened to me too. The submission links were no where to be found by the time I was ready to submit my last assessment draft. I thought it was weird so I went through all of my milestones and saw that the third one gave me two different scores. Some places it said I received a '4' as the overall score and others it said I received a '2'. Emailed my professor, he said he gave me a '4' and not a '2' and that he graded it again. But nothing changed. I emailed him again, this time with screenshots to better illustrate, and my professor was able to see the issue and fix it. After that the submission links appeared for me.
