Date: 2020-01-18 05:30 pm (UTC)40% isn't unheard of in my own experience, but it's definitely on the low side. I went and checked the exam weightings on my three remaining courses and they're [50, 55, 50]; some of my previous courses had 70 or even 80% of one's total grade come from exams.
It makes sense that a distance university would be heavy on exams, since exams are when they're most confident that it's actually *you* doing the work. They don't see you in class every week, they don't see whether or not you looked guilty when you clicked the checkbox swearing you didn't plagiarise this assignment. But they looked at a scan of my passport before agreeing to put my picture on my student ID card, and when I go to the community college a professional invigilator checks that student ID and keeps an eye on me as I do my work, and I suppose there's only so much you can cheat if 80% of your work is done under those conditions.
