Timed Exams
In certain sections of a course, timed assessments are a part of the learning experience. When you initiate a timed assessment, you’ll encounter a countdown timer that informs you of the available time for completion.
Once the timer reaches zero, any work you’ve undertaken on the SPD platform will be automatically submitted. It’s important to note that, at this point, you won’t have the option to make any further changes or additions to your work.
Tracking your time
You can always check how much time you have remaining by checking the clock at the top of the page. The clock does not give any warnings when it’s running out therefore pay attention to the clock..
Even if you close the assessment or open a different window, the timer will continue – so make sure you keep track of your time as you work.
Automatic submission for timed exams
After the time is up, your work will be automatically submitted for you. You don’t need to do anything to submit your work. Once your work has been auto-submitted, you’ll see a screen letting you know that your work has been submitted, and you’ll also get an email confirming this.
