I get really confused when I am dealing with time. I don't know what it is, but it gets me every time.  Many students taking the exams qualify for additional time. Because of this, we write the starting time, when there is 30 minutes remaining, 5 minutes remaining, and the ending time on the whiteboard. On top of my own deficiency with adding numbers, there is sometimes more than one student taking a test at a time, and now that there are even more tests happening, sometimes there are different tests happening with different students who might all have different accommodations.  It gets complicated.  So I thought about how technology could help me here. I knew I needed a timer, and I needed it to find the times for 30 min left and 5 minutes left and the end time based on the start time and the accommodations time. So I turned to Claude to help me. It wasn't easy, but after 8 prompts, I came up with the following app.  https://claude.site/artifacts/3db52944-61db-4d82-...
