    When I was in community college the teachers made homework / quizzes 30% of our grade. That homework was locked behind a pin code that could only be accessed by buying the textbook. Mess up on one test and that was an automatic failure (C’s minimum to transfer). COVID came along and I dropped school altogether. Seems its only getting worse. Not sure if I even want to go back.

      To make matters worse is since it was automated if the system wasn’t configured correctly and marked correct answers incorrect, looking at your Pearson, you’d fail the test. All the instructor could do was unlock it so you could take it again, but that is really a moot point since it was an error in the design.
