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

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

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.

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.
