Important Note: For timed assignments, the timer will not stop for any reason. Once you access the assignment, the timer will start, and you must complete the assignment within the time given. Signing out or leaving the assignment does not stop the timer. When the timer reaches zero, your assignment will automatically be submitted and any incomplete questions will be marked incorrect.
