Today, in the middle of my online midterm, my computer decided to update and closed out of the test. It can't be retaken. FML

Doesn't it usually warn you before it does?

For all of you saying he deserved it, just FYI, automatic update implies exactly what it is- automatic. Not all computers have pre-warned updates.

That's why you don't take a midterm online.

Aw sorry to hear that OP! That actually happen to me too, and it was my final exam. But I bet if you try to talk to your professor, he'll understand. So good luck OP!

computer error is not your fault, explain to the professor that your computer updated itself while you were taking the test and shut down if they refuse take it to the administrator's. although being that it was your computer, they may say you should have known when your computer was on schedule of updating itself. I never approved of online courses , because its so easy to cheat or not study. or for errors to occur like your predicament. my opinion is just from personal experiences dealing with nurses who got there education online, (ever have a needle stabbed in your arm 15 times the wrong way even though the training nurse has been repeatedly told by the head nurse that is not the way to do it and given vivid explanation on how to....oh and yes i asked her where she got her training after telling the head nurse to draw my blood due to so many mess ups worst part was i was in the hospital after giving birth and she was assigned both to me and my baby, she killed veins in my arm and in his foot grrr when she did that to my sons foot i put my foot down in having her treat us ) in person education is far different then online, no one to check if you are doing your work and applying yourself so easy to do last minute studying then forget instead of having it ingrained and concentrating .

Can you threaten Microsoft (or whoever uploaded the software) with a lawsuit for this? Do it. How dare they tell you when to update your settings.
