question about clicking through final on SL.

[CM1999]

I'm looking at my quizzes from SL Business Stats....before I get too excited, wanted to check with you guys.....
If I'm reading this correctly...and understanding how the grading works....I think I can FAIL my final and still pass, like just click through random answers I'd be OK??

oh wait....the points dont add to 700. the percentages, when I add them up and divide by 7 (assuming a "0" on the final) comes up to 78%

now I'm confused.

LOL, no. Close, but no cigar. You have 91.33% of 75% which is 68.5%
If you get 0, you fail at 68.5% and you will not get credit for that course.
Pucker up for a little work and get at least 25% on that final, don't go for "pass".

If you are transferring to TESU, a pass is a pass, but for COSC, it can get a letter grade!
COSC is the only school I think that will assign a letter grade for your transfers from SL.
Anyways, you should be able to pass without much effort, but final words - don't waste it.

You need to get 3 questions right on your final to pass, unless my math is foobar.

If you want to just run through it quickly, I'd just choose B or C and fill in every answer with the same choice. Even a 15% gives you a 76

Truthfully, this is a really bad idea in the off-chance that you are hit with a statistical outlier and get a whopping 2 answers of whatever you choose. It's up to you, however.

OK thanks. I can go it tonight if I dont have to think about it. otherwise I need to wait until next week ---very limited on time. and I'm super anxious to know if I can pass this. I spent SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many hours on Aleks. OMG. made me want to quit school.

I'll take a stab at it!

LOL, I spent more time on ALEKS than you did! I did two months just on 3 Stats courses without passing... my gosh!
I even failed (got 65%) on the SL Introduction to Stats, I was going to give up until I saw SL Business Stats transfers as the same course.
Took it and wowzah, I got an 85%. I laughed like a mad man right after I saw the number 85% on the final score...

Stats is hard. I passed Business Statistics before trying ALEKS Intro to Stats. My notes from SL were what helped me pass ALEKS once I reviewed ALL of the notes twice.

I assume the final is worth 300 points and probably 50 questions or so. I honestly clicked through every final I took, even the Managerial Accounting one that I needed 20 points on to pass. The lowest score I got by clicking A for every answer was 40 points on the Managerial Accounting final. I'd say your chance at passing is 99%. It's all up to you, and best of luck whatever you decide.
