[Building Sakai] mneme oddity

[Adam Marshall]

Thanks Vivie

The people running the test claim they did not manually modify the totals (and i have no reason to doubt them). The cant possibly have gone in and changed each test by a different amount and not realised what they've done.

Over the weekend they manually supplied the correct totals. Today, I took the test and needless to say the total was added up correctly. I tried your trick of removing the total and clicking 'Done' and of course the total was calculated correctly every time. I have resigned myself to having failed to solve one of life's great mysteries!

Adam,

In most likelihood, the instructor entered points in the final scores field,
in error - perhaps when scoring the last question. If points are entered
manually in the final scores field (as opposed to letting Mneme
auto-populate them from the sum of all the questions), Mneme considers the
score "final", as instructors have the power to override the auto-calculated
score from the addition of the points from all the questions. 

To test my theory, have the instructor select and delete the "final" score
completely and click on "Save" or "Done". Mneme will then calculate the
points and it will populate the field. The score should be accurate. 

That's all I can think of. Let me know if this resolves your issue. We've
never seen incorrect calculations in final scores in three years of use. 


Best,
Vivie
