C777 – Web Development Applications

Proctoring rules and exam platform burdens

Platform/system errors prevent students from accessing or launching scheduled OAs (errors, queues, or failed launches) causing exam delays or missed appointments.

• At 11:40pm on the dot after the timer ran down I was given access to take the test button. I pressed it and.....GOT an ERROR!!! The button disappeared and was unable to get into the Queue for the exam. I started to panic and IMMEDIATELY opened up a text chat. Long story short I had to wait roughly an hour before they could get me into the exam.

• I opened it across 2 different browsers, restarted my computer, logged back out and back in, nothing works. I have a test scheduled for the designated time, did not receive any email saying that the reservation was cancelled.

• Proctor said they couldn’t see my video during the exam ... I immediately looked at my webcam ... they said "okay I see it now" ... I really hope they don’t pull some stuff and void my exam because the proctors internet is messed up or something.

Assessment materials misaligned with learning activities

Practice materials and Practice Assessment (PA) are not representative of the Objective Assessment (OA), causing students to be unprepared despite passing course practice.

• Don't waste your time with Quizzets. I scored over 80% on each test. These test are easy to guess ... Failed the fuck out of the Pre-assessment. ... I did worse on my second attempt PA after doing all the course content. I got higher scores the first time I did the PA with almost zero knowledge.

• “This is the first class I've ran into where the PA and OA were nowhere near the same test.”

Insufficient or low-quality instructional materials

Course content is disorganized or presented inconsistently/contradictorily (e.g., CSS topics not structured clearly), causing confusion.

• Working on the CSS portion. Makes no sense. Keeps going over flex and box and grid, but not consistently.

• "The course material was presented in a contradictory manner"

Unresponsive instructor or lack of escalation path

Instructor/course team unresponsiveness or delays in approving time-sensitive requests (e.g., retake approvals), risking missed term deadlines.

• [Can't get any instructors to approve me for a retake of the C777 OA ... I emailed the instructor last week, automated response of 'we'll get to your email in the order it was received', waited until yesterday and emailed the whole instructor team, no response. Given the end of my term is in 3 days ... I'm just frustrated I spent so much time ... just to sit and wait for the fail to happen.]

Missing required templates or assessment resources

Broken or missing links and study guide resources that remain unrepaired after feedback, leaving required materials inaccessible.

• [...broken links in the study guide... I even emailed feedback about some of them and was emailed back that the issue was resolved... it was not.]
