I've completed all my finals and proud to say I learned a lot and plan to use what I learned in the future. But on the topic of malfunctioning online exams. We had a problem with online tests where it changed everyone's answers randomly. The teacher said she'd go through each exam question and my grade went from a C to an A. I knew that exam and was prepared. Here is the issue. On another class's final, I think it malfunctioned also. I knew I selected some answers (in select all that apply) that didn't show when I reviewed it. I also saw some answers weren't the same I'd picked. I got an A- on that final though anyway. Should I bring it to anyone's attention or let it go? I know though what I picked. My history in the class can speak for my character and honesty because when this happened before in this class on assignments and a quiz, I was honest with my grades each time. The thing is when it happened before lots of other people complained to make it be corrected this time only people complained about 2 questions malfunctioning, and I had 4 different questions. It would bring my grade up to an A. What are your thoughts?? The teacher might not even care. She hates the online things. Thanks.
(Also it would change my total grade to an A. I have a 94.933. They don't round up. I have an A in every other class. I don't want to sound like a snobby perfectionist just I want a grade I deserved )

I would certainly ask about it politely and see what the instructor has to say, but wouldn't lose any sleep over it if they don't change the grade. Just me.

I like online testing, but this would upset me. How do you prove what you first marked unless it's on paper? They better get fixing those glitches!

I would bring it up. There may be others that have the same issue, perhaps even did not pass due to a computer glitch. Oh..and Congrats on a successful semester!
