The finer distinction is that each quiz is 100% of your grade.
You can pass all 9 out of your 10 quizzes and fail this course.
If you took 10 CLEP exams and passed 9 out of 10, you'd have credit for 9 of them.
My outrage is not that I think being allowed to fail each quiz should be allowed, rather that scoring 100% perfectly on EVERY quiz carries no points forward.

Sample A:
quiz 1 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 2 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 3 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 4 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 5 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 6 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 7 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 8 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
quiz 9 (10%) score 100% = 100 points
final exam (10%) score 49% = FAIL ENTIRE COURSE *despite the student having earned 949 points (94.9%) which is an A by any university standards.

Their rubric is flawed.

I think a worse example is:

Quiz 1 score 49%, retake 49% (maybe a technical issue, maybe you haven't taken a college course before and don't "get it" yet) - FAIL THE ENTIRE COURSE! You don't even get to see what the rest of the course is about, don't get time to get your feet wet, nothing.

I remember that with Sophia, you had to get at least a 70% on the final, but I thought it was easier than the "milestones" (exams basically, as opposed to quizzes). But, you could request a retake if you didn't pass, and pay $25 to retake it. So it was a little less high-stakes than it sounds. Otherwise, you had to get 70% overall on the course to pass. So you could bomb a quiz or two and still pass the course.
