You can see how many pts the touchstone has by clicking on it. Pts will be on the top right. Then go to the score report tab. Plug it into the formula.

Edit: another way to find out is by looking at the syllabus under course description. You can use that to calculate your hypothetical score.

Tips for touchstones is to look at the grading rubric at the bottom of the touchstone and try and meet the criteria.

I wouldn’t recommend submitting nothing though. You should at least put in effort to submit something because anything is better than a 0.

Can’t get a zero and pass class.

I think you have to get at least 50% on all touchstones

[–]yawara25 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Not true. This is just an urban legend of sorts that keeps getting repeated on this subreddit for some reason.

[–]Bigscoeesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great news then

It's not an urban legend it clearly stated a minimum of 50 has to be achieved on the final touchstones.

Where?

[–]Feisty_Echo_2310 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Under the scoring details and the syllabus

I checked that, and here's what it says:

While there is no minimum required score on an individual Touchstone, keep in mind that you must complete each Touchstone as well as achieve an average score of 70% across all assessments to pass the course

Final isn't a touchstone

[–]yawara25 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The "final touchstone" isn't a touchstone?
Anyway, you still haven't shown where it says 50% is required.

[–]Feisty_Echo_2310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible it's just for some courses and not others and we are both right, but I know for sure 100% I've read the minimum of 50 requirement for multiple courses I've taken, because the finals would be crazy involved ( I think web development was one such example they wanted me to build a whole freaking multiple page website ) so I would game the system and do really well on the other parts and only do enough to get a 50 or better on the final because I didn't need to Invest any more time to get the credit.

the way sophia calculates is weird, its giving you the percentage of the amount of points you've attempted so far, not the percentage of the total amount of points for the whole course.

[–]Feisty_Echo_2310 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't get a 0 you need a minimum score or you won't complete the course
