Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am taking an online Business Law class. pretty easy and interesting so far (its only been a week). Well I went to take my first quiz about 2 hours ago (done online) and I click on it, it pops up, I go to click the button to maximize to box, and when I did it, i must have thrown in an extra click and hit the "home" tab while it was expanding, cause it sent my straight to the colleges "blackboard" page :eek:. It says you can only attempt the quiz once and you MUST finish it the first time, no coming back and finishing later. So yup, I didn't even get to answer one stinkin question, and when I tried to go back (had to at least try) it says it has already been done. So now, I have to wait, I emailed the professor to see if anything can be done, but he has yet to write me back, I know he has been online since he has made a few posts in our discussion room for the class, I am hoping he just hasn't checked his email yet.

buckee Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You could probably do it again if you just clean out your cookies;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 You could probably do it again if you just clean out your cookies;) I wish it were that easy. But its not on my end, it is on the schools end. Once you log in and start the quiz, its in the schools system, so there is nothing I can do but sit and wait until I hear something from the professor. but I did try it anyways...didn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 That's the way things work here at my college too. I've had online quizzes in a couple of my classes. Hope your prof is understanding and gives you another shot.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I teach several on-line courses using blackboard and that happens to my students all the time. I've always allowed them to re-take the quiz (you will likely be assigned a unique password). It happens so frequently that I no longer select the "force completion" option. That way if a students computer goes down they can power up and continue the quiz where they left off. Students can still only take it one time. Some professors don't take kindly to students telling them how to run their course, so be cautious. If your professor says no you could file a grievance and you'd probably win.

wtnhunt Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 That does stink. Sounds about how my luck tends to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I think the prof can zero those scores out if you ask him/her. I did my master's online, and our profs had some discretion to do that sort of thing. BTW--I teach business law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Well I just finished taking it. Got 23 out of 25 points ....didn't see which one I got wrong. I did see that the class average was 17 out of 25...which is shocking because it is an untimed, openbook/note quiz , oh well, I'm just glad I got to take it and didn't get zero points for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Cool. What were the questions like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Mostly definition type questions....jurisdiction, constitutional law, state and federal court systems, the schools of jurisprudential thought and some other stuff all multiple choice obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 yeah we have that blackboard crap out our college, it dont like it in my opinion, things can get really messed up on it, i just tell teachers that use they are just lazy There is a learning curve with blackboard for students and teachers. If it's messed up then either your schools IT department is poor or your teachers are not using it correctly. Guns don't kill people and technology doesn't make teachers lazy.
