Straighterline Proctored and Closed Book

[hoffdeb]

I know for a few of my exams the proctor said they were closed book exams, and I was like 'the hell it is'. Then they verified it, and it was open book, and they apologized saying they were looking at the wrong window. It turns out ProctorU is monitoring 8 people at a given time. They also told me, they are not watching the whole time, and not even recorded. They only start recording if you get up and leave unexpectedlly or doing something strange.

But as far as straighterline is concerned, I don't know if this is a new requirement. Like Potatoloco, I make it my goal to reach 70 before I go into the exams.

Help me understand this part of his quote, "Like Potatoloco, I make it my goal to reach 70 before I go into the exams." If you have 70% going into the exam and then choose not to take the exam (meaning you score 0%), doesn't that give you a much lower average overall, certainly lower than the needed 70% to gain credit? Please explain this for me! Thanks.
