Exam Timer

https://exam-timer.com

Puts a timer on top of a Google Doc. That's all. 😄

Shamelessly stolen from, most recently, @CS61C. However, this is the product of many TAs.

Directions

• Go to exam-timer.com
• Put in a Google Doc URL and a time
• Share the URL with your team

Tips

• It's easiest if the Doc is public, but it doesn't need to be.
• Keep the doc in the "edit" mode so it receives updates
• The time is draggable.

Code & Features

• Two very simple html files, index, and timer/index.
• All functionality is controlled via query parameters.
• We only support modern browsers. let is aswesome, and var is very passé.

Nice to Haves (Maybe?)

• A bigger timer option
• Optionally Hide seconds on time
• A refresh button?
  • This could let you use a doc in "viewing" mode.
  • Maintain the timer state by dynamically calcuating RTT
    • This is stupid, but sounds fun.
  • Smarter way to maintain state: Store start time in local storage.
