As far as I'm aware there is no way around this.
Some of our faculty have wanted this since moving to Blackboard in 1999.
The reason is that they had this feature (preventing the submission
after the time is up) with QuestionMark.
It is most problematic as you say in large classes as clicking each "!"
to process the test takes quite a lot of time on the faculty end.
Other course management systems such as Desire2Learn have this
functionality so hopefully it will only be a matter of time before Bb
builds this functionality in. D2L also tells you the START Time and
Stop Time of each student's assessment attempt.
Be sure to suggest this through the ticketing system.

Hi
When students take a timed quiz in Bb, they can still answer questions
and submit the quiz after the time limit has expired. This produces a
'!' rather than a mark in the student gradebook and requires manual
attention from the instructor. This is time consuming for large classes.
On a quick inspection of the allowed quiz settings there didn't seem to
be any way around this.
Does anyone know why Bb behaves this way, and if there is any way of
simply preventing the students from submitting after the expiry time AND
warning them that time's almost up?
Thanks! :)

Hello:
Given the course ID, how do I locate all the content items, those listed
on the Course Documents page?
(I am writing a tool, and have noticed that, although it is passed the
course ID as a request parameter, a content ID or TOC ID is not
given.)
Thanks in advance for your kindness,
