Assignment Submission & Grade Lookup

The README File

• Your group number.
• The names and grove accounts of all the people who worked on the assignment and what parts they were responsible for. If your name appears on any team assignment, you are certifying that you:
  • did your fair share of the work, and
  • understand the entire submission.
  Academic dishonesty is a very serious issue and violations of this policy will be dealt with accordingly.
• A complete list of all known bugs and problems with your program. If your program doesn't compile, say so. If it works on 3 out of 5 cases, describe the 2 cases it does not work and explain any theories you have as to why they don't work. For every error that the grader finds that you did not report, you will lose more points than if you had reported it! Moral of the story: test your programs throughly and be honest.
• Any other comments or notes directly related to the assignment are submitting that you want the grader to read.

How to Submit Assignments: Step-by-step Instructions

Homework must be submitted from your grove class account. When you submit your homework assignments for grading you will need to gather all the source files together and create a README (described above).

1. Login to your grove class account.
2. If you haven't already created a directory to store the home work files in, then in your home directory, create a subdirectory with the name hw?? where the ?? are replaced with the assignment number. The commands to do this are:

   cd ~
mkdir hw?? <-- Replace ?? with the assignment number!

   Here are some examples of wrong and right directory names:

     WRONG       RIGHT   WHY
     ==========  =====   =================================
     hw1         hw01    assignments numbers have 2 digits
     homework08  hw08    use the abbreviation `hw`
     HW12        hw12    use lowercase
   

3. If you haven't already done so, create a file named README, as described in the previous section.
4. Put all the program source files and the README file in the hw?? directory. That means you'll need to ftp them to your grove account if you haven't already done so. Click here for Dave's First FTP Primer or "How to Move Files from CIRCA PC's to Grove"
5. If you are not in your home directory, move there now (type at the prompt cd ~).
6. At the prompt, type submit hw??, where the ?? are replaced with the assignment number.
7. The submit program will show you the names of all the files submitted.

How to Verify Program Submissions

check assignment submitter's_userid

So, for instance, to verify that c3020box submitted hw97, you would type at the prompt:

check hw97 c3020box

Note: the command will only permit you to check for submission by members of your assigned group.
