Electronic Submission Guidelines - CSCI 102L, Spring 2011, Section 30349R

 
Please use the BlackBoard system for electronic submission of your programming homework assignments.

Please see the Submission section of each homework assignment regarding how you should prepare a single gzipped tarfile for submission.

 
Verify Your Submission
After you submitted your assignment, you should verify what you've submitted can be compiled as is on aludra.usc.edu/nunki.usc.edu.
  1. Go to the homework page on BlackBoard
  2. Download the file you have just uploaded
  3. Copy the file to aludra.usc.edu/nunki.usc.edu
  4. On aludra/nunki
    1. Unpack the file (see example below)
    2. Compile your code
    3. Test your code

Example of Verifying Your Submission

Below, we use hw1 as an example. You should change hw1 to the appropriate name for your assignments.

Let's say your hw1.tar.gz is in your ~ (home) directory. Do the following on aludra.usc.edu/nunki.usc.edu:

    % cd ~
    % mkdir xyzzy
    % cd xyzzy
    % gunzip -c ../hw1.tar.gz > hw1.tar
    % tar xvf hw1.tar
    % [ check to make sure that all the files are there ]
    % [ use the instruction in your "compile.txt" to compile your hw1 ]
    % cd ..
    % rm -rf xyzzy
Before you run the mkdir command, make sure you don't have the xyzzy directory. If you do, delete it before you proceed.

A few things to note:

  1. If the gunzip command failed, the hw1.tar.gz file your've submitted is not properly gzipped.
  2. If the tar command failed, the hw1.tar.gz file your've submitted is not properly created.
  3. If by following the instruction in your "compile.txt" file failed to create your program, you probably forgot to include something in your submission. Please remember that if this does not work properly, you will lose quite a few points.
  4. If any of the above failure occurs, you must recreate your submission and submit again and verify again. Please remember that, if you forget to submit a file, we cannot accept a file after the submission deadline (no matter what the file timestamp is on aludra/nunki or on your personal machine) and your assignment most likely will end up with a score of zero.
