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

[Ward, Lynn E.]

I agree that it would be better to deny access to the assessment.  The current behavior is confusing to students.  We have a local patch for this.  Megan can probably direct you to the location for the code.

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

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
