Because it is worth stating even one more time…..We have taken a slow, thoughtful, approach to the tolerances because the last thing we wanted to do was implement something new only to have to change it repeatedly. We will view each and every course in the same way before applying further tolerances.
Two more things:
- Tolerance was added, but the rules for solving the questions have NOT changed. The point is, it is always necessary to refrain from rounding intermediate steps.
- It is paramount to understand that the timing is midstride in the course. The implementation to courses began on April 7th, continued on April 13th and October 31st, and now again on November 22nd. A person who answered and submitted a quiz prior to that time did not have tolerance and those that submit after, will have the tolerance applied to their answer submission.
Like always, if you as an instructor feel a person should be given credit for a submission, you can do that via the override score feature.
