You can grant students extra time for a timed assignment after their allotted time
has expired.
A common reason for this is if an outage, fire alarm, or other interruption happened
while your students
were working on the timed assignment.
Note You will usually not want to impose a penalty on your students when extra time is
required because of
an interruption during the assignment that is beyond your students' control, or to
provide a testing
accommodation.
You can't reset or pause the timer for a timed assignment; your student's time remaining
for the
assignment is always calculated from the time they first opened the assignment in
WebAssign.
-
From My Classes, click
Class Schedule under Class
Tools.
-
Beside the assignment, click .
-
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.
Note If you previously granted extra time for the
assignment, type a different number of minutes in
Extra Time and click
Save. To grant the same number of
additional minutes that you previously granted, type
1 in Extra Time
and click Save before granting the desired
time.
- Optional:
Type a positive or negative number in with
adjustment to add or subtract points from the student's
assignment score.
Best Practice If a student requests additional time but does not
offer a compelling reason, offer to grant the extra time with a
penalty to the student's assignment score.
-
Click Save, and then close the Grant
extra time to selected students window.
You might also need to grant an extension to the assignment due date and time for
the selected
students.
