[samigo-team] SAM-1591: Students can take a timed assessment after the due date via the url

[Sam Ottenhoff]

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-1591

I found a couple of cases today of students taking a timed assessment after
the due date (with no late submissions allowed) by accessing the assessment
via the URL.

There is some logic in DeliveryBean.java that seems to suggest that this is
intended behavior because auto-submit code will take care of this case. My
question: wouldn't it be better to just deny all attempts at an assessment
after the due date if no late submissions are allowed?

3012     // check 7: has dueDate arrived? if so, does it allow late
submission?
3013     // If it is a timed assessment and "No Late Submission" and not
during a Retake, always go through. Because in this case the
3014     // assessment will be auto-submitted anyway - when time is up or
when current date reaches due date (if the time limited is
3015     // longer than due date,) for either case, we want to redirect to
the normal "submision successful page" after submitting.

Thanks,
Sam
