grading_or_answer_key_or_process_issues

Assessment grading or answer-key mismatch: correct student code/answers are being marked wrong due to incorrect/outdated answer keys, evaluator/grader errors, or unclear rubric alignment.

  • I'm not sure how I failed as all my code ran as the specifications said, so I'm confused as to why I failed the exam. The required output was the same as what they wanted.

  • I followed this quizlet and the ... Notion site for the correct PA answers. Even after running the code exactly like the question states it still tell me in wrong?

  • “I frequently get marked ‘wrong’ on answers that were correct. I know this, because the (correct) marked answer is the one I selected and a CI confirmed it with me in live time with a call.”

Unclear or ambiguous instructions and questions

Unclear or contradictory practice assessment instructions and provided code, preventing students from understanding requirements or attempting the coding tasks.

  • [the code problems are very confusing and for some it feels like the instructions and code are contradicting each other... I can't get to try the code part because I don't even understand what the question is asking me...]
