In unit 2 every one of my answers is marked wrong even though I have the correct answer. Can somebody tell me the proper way to enter the answers for the fill in the blank questions? I attached an example of my issue.
Hi Michael, I have looked at your word doc, and also at the background programming in Unit 2. I think you are mistaking what you see.
Any time you answer a question the system automatically repeats the answer you gave, and then gives the programmed response. In the case of fill in the blank questions the programmed response gives you the correct answer and the question you answered.
So you would see
Your Answer
The correct answer
The question...
This format is used so that if you read your answer screens you are reinforcing correct information. You can compare for yourself whether you answered correctly or not.
We do not grade fill in the blank questions in the lessons, because there are too many variations that can cause you frustration rather than help you learn, for example if you spell a word wrong, or put a space at the beginning or end of a word, or use punctuation that the instructor doesn't use.
Your entire grade for this course is divided between the Unit Quizzes and the Final Exam. The lessons exist solely to teach the material.
Michael, I hope this helps you. You are not answering the questions wrong, and the course is reacting appropriately to your answers.
Take care and Good luck...
Sandra King.
