Give your students a specific amount of time to complete an assignment. Timed assignments
are recommended for quizzes and tests.
When you assign timed work, make sure your students understand
the following:
- Once they start the assignment, the timer does not stop, even if they close
the assignment.
- The due date is either when the timer expires or the
original assignment due date and time, whichever comes first.
-
Schedule the assignment, if you have not already done so.
-
Open the Schedule page and navigate to the
assignment.
-
Open the My Classes page.
-
Click Class Schedule under Class Tools.
-
Click a scheduled assignment in the Assignments list to view the week for which it
is scheduled.
-
Beside the assignment, click .
-
Select Timed Assignment.
-
Select the number of minutes to allow for the assignment.
If the number of minutes you want is not listed, select
other and type the number of minutes you want. You
must enter a whole number between 1 and 999.
-
To give additional time to some of your students:
-
Click Grant extra time for specific students.
-
For each student who needs additional time, type the number of
additional minutes to allow in Extra Time.
If you previously granted extra time and need to grant more, enter only the number
of additional minutes.
Example: If a student used 30 minutes of extra time and they need an additional 15 minutes,
enter 15. Do not enter the total of 45.
If the additional time is the same as the previously granted time, enter a different
number and save before entering the correct number. Otherwise, WebAssign does not recognize this as a change.
Example: If a student used 30 minutes of extra time and they need an additional 30 minutes,
enter a different number and save before entering 30.
- Optional:
Type a positive or negative number in with
adjustment to add or subtract points from the student's
assignment score.
-
Click Save and close the window.
- Optional:
Select Drop Security and Time Restrictions after and
select a date and time after which your students can access the assignment.
Security restrictions (password, IP address, and LockDown Browser®) are not automatically lifted
from assignments after the due date. Usually, these restrictions mean that your students
can't see
their scores and feedback for individual assignment questions.
To allow this, either drop the assignment restrictions manually from the Schedule page or select Drop Security and
Time Restrictions after and set the date and time to drop the restrictions
automatically.
-
Click Save.
Timed assignments are indicated with an hourglass icon 
.
While your students work on a timed assignment, a timer displays the remaining time
in the top right corner.
