Email your instructor immediately if you are unable to complete an exam due to technical difficulties. In your e-mail, include as much information as possible (identify your browser, operating system, Internet Service Provider, time, date, circumstances, etc.). Also include the content of the error message that appeared when the problem occurred.

Most exams and quizzes have a time limit set by the instructor.

If not, be aware that exceeding the time limit may result in a grade of zero for the test.
