Hi Bryan

I've been able to reproduce the second issue on 
http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org:8082/portal. The steps to reproduce it are:

1.Create a 10 minutes timed assessment which has only one allowed 
submission .

2.The student takes the assessment e.g. at 11:00:00.

3.When assessment's time is going to finish, the student opens other 
tool, and he comes back to assessment e.g. at 11:10:20 (20 seconds after 
time limit is reached which it is 10 minutes). Next the student is able 
to take the expired assessment. If student takes the assessment, then 
the time counter shows: "Time's up" however the student is either able 
to continue the assessment for a few seconds and able to submit it.

I think that both issues could be the same issue because the main 
problem is that the student is able to take an expired assessment. The 
issue persists so I think we might create a related Jira, don't you?

Regards,
Raúl
