Timed Assignments

[IsaacHclark]

I would like to make an assignment with MATLAB Autograder such that it has a time limit start when the students open it. Is this possible with assignments or only quizzes?

Hi @IsaacHclark,

Aside from setting available from, due, and available until dates, assignments do not have any kind of timer like quizzes.  I think one of the reasons is actually because external tools (like MATLAB grader), would have no way to know a timer existed, nor would most be coded to work with a timer.  External tools could build their own timers in right now if they wanted to, so this might actually be an idea to pass along to MATLAB if you're interested in it.

Hope this helps, even if it's not the info you were hoping to hear.
