Contesting Questions/Answers: Straighterline - 7Steven - 10-02-2016
How often do you contest questions?
Have you been successful with the contested questions?
Do you bypass contesting questions because your total grade was good enough?
Straighterline exams have been taken by many students. Do students not contest? Or does Straighterline not amend the exams with correct answers/questions?
I am 4 for 4 in contesting questions. Recently, I successfully contested 3 questions on an exam with 25 questions (12% of the "Correct" answers were wrong!). There are some questions I would like to contest, but I do not because it would have limited impact on my total grade. Contesting takes about 3 days to get the final decision, and it seems to be an easy process.

Interesting that you note this, I noticed a couple of "wrong" answers on the Survey of World History Final, but I didn't contest because my grade was good enough. I WAS concerned though that the presentation information around one of those questions would lead to the spread of mis-information about the issue. I asked my wife should I say something, and she said "Yes".....I ultimately declined because I thought it would be too much work to follow up, and I don't have time, and for "what reward"....though I do care about the knowledge of others.
Glad to see that someone follows through. Kudos to you! Tomorrow is better because of you.

This has never been an issue for me because I had grades well over the minimum 69.5% needed for a pass. Like the response above me, I don't have time to beta test SL questions for no pay. Remember, I pick SL in the first place because I don't want to spend much time on a course.
