Submit an attempt left 'in progress'

In some instances a student may not have submitted their quiz correctly within the allotted time period - meaning their attempt may still be 'in progress'.

It is important to remember that a student's attempt may still be 'in progress' if they are genuinely in middle of doing the quiz. For this reason it is best to double check before re-setting an attempt

Note  If a student's attempt is still in progress and they have gone over the allotted time they can still submit the test themselves provided the close date and time for the quiz has not been reached - they cannot change or save any questions - simply submit the quiz.
If the overall close date and time for the quiz has been reached only staff can submit a student's attempt that is still in progress. The staff member cannot change or save any questions - they can only submit the quiz.
