Failure to pass quiz contributes to course progress

Hi David! I understand your concern regarding Rise 360's tracking option.

The tracking found in the publish settings decides whether to set the user's status to Completed or In Progress. If the user meets the tracking requirement, they will have successfully completed the course.

The reason why the course progress increased even if users failed the quiz is that you do not require a passing score to continue. This means, regardless if the users pass or fail the quiz, as long as they complete the quiz and meet your tracking requirement, they will be marked Completed in your LMS. However, if you require a passing score to continue, the course progress will not increase and they will not be marked Completed in your LMS. Here's a screenshot of the lesson progress showing 100% with a failed quiz if you do not require a passing score.

And here's what the lesson progress would look like with a failed quiz and you require a passing score to continue.

So if you want the users to pass the quiz before they are marked as complete, you may want to toggle the quiz setting to Require Passing Score to Continue. 

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
