<p align="center"><strong>Time limit</strong></p>
<p>With time limit you can control how much time student can have
on one quiz attempt. If time limit is exeeded, the quiz will be sent
automatically, with current answers. If student backs down and returns
to quiz attempt when time limit has expired, zero grade will be marked.</p>
<p>By default, quizzes do not have a time limit, which allows
students as much time as they need to complete the quiz.
<p>Zero value means, no time limit.</p>
<p>If you do specify a time limit, the several things are done to try and
ensure that quizzes are completed within that time:</p>
<ul>
<li>Javascript support in the brower becomes mandatory - this allows
the timer to work correctly.</li>
<li>A floating timer window is shown with a countdown</li>
<li>When the timer has run out, the quiz is submitted automatically
with whatever answers have been filled in so far</li>
<li>If a student manages to cheat and spends more than 60 seconds
over the allotted time then the quiz is automatically graded zero</li>
</ul>
