I've rearranged 3 pieces of earlier mails in chronological order:

I've now created a new test assessment; two groups, one student of the first
group submitted data immediately after the assessment was opened.

As tutor the responded list looks OK, regardless of whether the assessment
is open or already closed.

When logging in as the student who submitted data:
- when the assessment is still open, there is a button "Take Assessment",
but when clicking it, there is a message "you have already submitted";
- when the assessment has been closed, the assessment is listed with "DID
NOT SUBMIT".

A day later, one student of the second group submits data.

Same story, the day later does not seem to solve anything.

It looks as if, when the list of the user's assessments is composed,
submitted or not submitted gets confused (because the timezone is not
London? sounds bizarre...)

I'll look into the code...

René.
