Submit Homework Assignments

Overview

This document describes how to submit your homework assignments. Our current technique is to use WebCT.

Before You Submit

  1. Check your answers to make sure you have all the required information.
  2. Create a README.txt file that includes the following information:
    • Your name
    • Assignment number
    • Name of each file followed by a brief description
    • Comments on the status of the assignment submitted
    • Any extra credit features you implemented
    • Number of hours you needed to complete the assignment

Example README.txt

Name: Jane User, Joe Partner
Asn#: 3
Hours: 9.7
Files:
- MyMain.cpp: The main file
- Console.cpp: User input methods
Status: Completed
Extra Credit: Added a check for values within range.

README.txt File Name

The name of the README.txt file must be README.txt. READMENN.txt is also acceptable, where NN is the number of the assignment. Points may be deducted from your assignment score if you use a wrong file name.

Recording Hours

Record the estimated hours you spent on the homework assignment. Use decimal numbers only, such as 6.5. Do not use minutes or fractions such as 1/2. Label the hours with the word Hours and include the estimated hours on the same line as the label.

Extra Credit

Describe any extra credit you attempted for the assignment in your README.txt file. In addition, label the extra credit as shown in the example above. Failure to follow these instructions may reduce the number of any extra points you receive.

Submission Instructions

Submit the files using WebCT. After logging in to WebCT, click the Assignments link and click the correct assignment number. Follow the instructions for uploading your files to the server.

Do NOT zip files or alter them from text in any way. Do not submit Word or Excel documents unless specifically allowed in the assignment instructions.

In Case of Difficulty

If WebCT is not available, or is giving you trouble, then contact the instructor for assistance. If the hour is late and your assignment is due early the next day, then email the instructor with a description of the problem and attach your assignment, with a copy to yourself. Also, bring your assignment to class in digital form so you can try to upload before class.

The instructor cannot post your grade unless you submit your assignment using WebCT. Thus, the instructor will work with you to get your assignment submitted through WebCT. However, the final responsibility for submitting assignments to WebCT on time rests with the student. Please plan ahead in case of difficulties.
