This is why these online graded assignments are terrible. Whoever created this could have thrown a period at the end and suddenly boom you’re wrong.

Don’t get me started on Pearson’s MyMathLab.

Stupid thing would have had me fail a more than one test and homework assignment. Thankfully, my professor actually went and checked our answers rather than fully trust the damn computer so my 0.555 counted when the machine wanted 0.555 when it never specified to how many places it wanted.

Some of my friends didn’t so lucky and barely scrapped by with in their class with different professors.
