Hello,
I am working with the CompTIA implementation team, but curious if others have identified these issues and how you are handling it.
When reviewing the point value of lab assignments, I observed that some labs seem wildly pointed which will result in significantly skewing grades without intervention.
Live labs (Perform product) are all pointed at 1 point, where as simulated labs are typically pointed based on the number of steps graded (ex: 2-10).
My concern is for live labs which appear to be consistently be valued at 1 point is devaluing them considerably against simulated labs which require much less work. Additionally, some simulated labs seeming to not follow the convention of one point per item graded and are pointed with what appear as crazy inappropriate values (upwards of over 30,000 points).
While I can update point values in Canvas, this appears to be a manually intensive operation, requiring each assignment to be updated individually. I am curious if others have seen this and have a better work around other than manually updating each assignment point value.
examples of simulated lab point values identified in Certmaster Perform Network + out of normal range for reference:
4.1.7 – Lab Explore ARP in Wireshark 311 points
4.4.7 - Lab: Use IPv4 Test Tools 611 points
6.4.11 - Lab: Troubleshoot IP Configuration 3 31,111 points
9.2.5 – Lab: Analyze a DDos Attack 1,111 points
12.1.9 - Lab: Configure Wireless Profiles 51 points
** any "live" lab 1 point
