HOWTO Submit a Machine Problem for CSG111/711

To submit a Machine Problem for the courses CSG111 and CSG711 you will need to have a CCIS account and some familiarity with the command-line environment of the Unix machines in CCIS. Here's how to submit:
  1. In a CCIS Unix machine create some directory (preferably under your classes directory) e.g.:
    /home/vkoutav/classes/mp1
  2. Copy all files you want to submit in this directory. This usually will be scheme files and two text files containing your development diary and output of your tests. For the exercises that ask something other than code you may submit text, PDF, Postscript, or DVI files. In any case Don't submit files in word, excel, or other format.
  3. From a terminal, cd in this directory and run the script:
    /home/vkoutav/TA/csg111-s07/bin/submit-homework
  4. The script will ask you for some information:
    1. Course: your course code (CSG111 or CSG711)
    2. Section: CSG111 students write Tue or Wed. CSG711 students leave blank.
    3. Homework: The Machine Problem you are submitting, e.g. MP1.
    4. Team Members: The full names of all students in the team, separated by commas. CSG111 students should normally write two names here, while CSG711 students should write one.
    5. Comments: A short comment that you may want to write to your grader.
  5. The script will then show you a list of all files in the directory and ask you if you want to submit them. Answering y will tar-gzip the files, and submit them by email to the grader. You will also get a copy of that email, which you should consider the confirmation of your submission. If you don't see the email right away wait up to 30 minutes before resubmitting. It usually takes some time to receive the email.
  6. Only one submission is required per team. Make sure that you write all the names of the people in the team in the "Team members" field of the script.
  7. If you make changes to your solution and you want to resubmit (in the limits of the deadline), you can do so by following the same steps above and running the script again.
