\"Force Completion\" is a setting available when selecting test availability options in Blackboard. The idea behind the \"Force Completion\" setting is to allow for a one-time entry into a test. However, using the \"Force Completion\" setting may have some unintended consequences. For example, if the student accidentally closes the browser, or loses the connection to the test, the student cannot continue with the exam unless the instructor intervenes and resets the exam (i.e., clears the attempt). For this reason, using the \"Force Completion\" setting is not recommended. Instead, use the timer AND enable the Auto-Submit test option<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\n\"Test<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

Using the timer\/auto-submit options allows students to re-enter the exam and continue where they left off as long as there is time remaining<\/strong>. The timer will continue to record the time from when the student initially entered the exam. If there is no more time left the student will not be able to re-enter the exam. Likewise, if the student is able to re-enter the exam he\/she will only have the remaining time to complete the exam.<\/p>\n

The timer\/auto-submit options accomplish the same goal as Force Completion, without students having to contact the instructor because they lost connectivity or abnormally exited the exam. This should lead to less student frustration with the exam and greatly reduce the number of calls to have the instructor clear test attempts.<\/p>\n
