Straighterline won't allow me to fail?

I went through the same issue. The policies are asinine for a pass/fail course and this doesn't happen at a real University, but you can't do anything about it. It's like arguing with a brick wall. You just waste your time.

In my Physics Lab, there were 9 labs to submit and 9 quizzes. The lowest scored lab and quiz is not counted (so only 8 Labs and 8 quizzes apply to your final grade). I had 17/18 assignments completed and 96% total score so it was impossible to fail. I could submit the final lab, get a zero and it would be not counted anyway. I attempted to just answer a few questions and submit it (since these labs for a 1 cr course are a ridiculous workload and an all day calculus affair). Well, my account got flagged and I had to contact them, argue that it wouldn't even count, and end up having to re-submit the completed one—even though it would be dropped and not applied to my final grade anyway.

This was quite frustrating because this Lab took me 5 hours to complete, with all the photo evidence included. It then got scored and of course dropped and uncounted, then they cleared the flag. Course complete. Stupid, but it is what it is. So glad this was my last alternative credit I will ever have to take!
