Why is my course timer not working?

Your course timers will only elapse while you are reading the material in the modules and no other web pages or tabs are open. Quizzes, exams, and other study tools will not lower the amount of time required in the course. The timer is located on the right hand side of the screen and you will be able to watch the timer count down in real time. You will be unable to access the final exam until the timer reaches zero.
