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.
If for some reasons you cannot use
BlackBoard
to submit your assignment, you can e-mail the instructor
and include the submission file as an e-mail attachment.
In this case, the timestamp for the submission will be the time
the e-mail arrive at the instructor's gmail account and
not the sending time of your e-mail (since that can be easily forged).
Therefore, if you do this, you will be doing this at your own risk!
We will not be responsible if the Internet decides to take a very long time
to deliver your e-mail.
Finally, do not create a RAR file and submit it or submit individual files.
You will lose 20% of your grade if your submission is in the RAR
format or if you e-mail individual files as your submission. The recommended
file format is .tar.gz. A ZIP file containing all the proper files is
also acceptable.

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.
- Go to the homework page on
BlackBoard
- Download the file you have just uploaded
- Copy the file to aludra.usc.edu/nunki.usc.edu
- On aludra/nunki
- Unpack the file (see example below)
- Compile your code (as instructed in your "compile.txt" file)
- 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:
- If the gunzip command failed, the hw1.tar.gz
file your've submitted is not properly gzipped.
- If the tar command failed, the hw1.tar.gz
file your've submitted is not properly created.
- If by following the instruction in your "compile.txt" file failed
to create your program, the grader will try different procedures to get
your program to compile and will deduct up to 10% of the grade depending
on how difficult it is to get your program to compile.
If your program cannot be compiled because
you forgot to include a file in your submission, we will not
be allowed to take a file after the submission deadline
and you will receive a score of zero.
- 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.
