Purpose: To give strict time allocation for the students to answer a particular activity.
5. Some students may complain about an auto-submit of the activity. Kindly check their taken activity time stamp in the upfront part of their taken activity.
Purpose: To see the difference between the time they started and the time they submitted. The reason for the auto-submit is either the time limit or the activity deadline.
6. Students may experience an error while they attempt to log in that says “Firebase: A network authError. ” or they may even complain that all their class cards are gone as they only see a white screen.
Reason: This is due to the user’s low internet connection.
