I got 16/20 and it said better than 70%. I also feel like I didn't understand what the task was.
I get that. I paused at one point to try to see if there were more instructions on the task. But basically I categorised by "implies certainty" and "trying to make me or a certain group angry" = false news, if it shows uncertainty or doesn't exaggerate to target emotions then most likely true.
Does it tell you which ones you got wrong?
Nah it doesnt say which ones I got wrong. But I can guess that it showed a "true" headline about the government and I was like "nah thats bullshit propaganda"
Yeah I decided to ignore the content and just went with some things I know are signs of misinformation. It probably helped I've read articles about identifying it before.
No, it tells you what percentage of real news you classified correctly, what percentage of fake news you classified correctly, and has a score for veracity, which is the percentage overall that you put into the right category.
But it doesn't tell you which ones you missed
