How to Submit

Electronic Versions of

Programming Assignments

All students with coe computer accounts who are officially
registered for the course will be able to submit their
programs electronically using a utility which the system
administrator will initiate.

Early in each quarter, typically in the second week, a 
subdirectory called Courses will be created in your
directory.  Do not attempt to create your own Courses
subdirectory - the system administrator will take care
of this for you.

In that Courses subdirectory you will notice that a 
special type of file has been created.  This file has 
the same name as the course you are taking: MIM3132.
This special file is a "link": a
shortcut to a "class" directory where you will place a copy
of your program.  Each student in the class has his
or her own subdirectory under the class directory so 
that there will be no confusion among individual 
students' work.

Where is this "class" directory?  It is in a section of
the UNIX file system under the control of the system
administrator.  This directory has been configured so
that the grader and I will both have access to your
files so that we can grade them.  The link in your
account has been created so that you can easily
place copies of your work in this directory.

To submit a copy of your work electronically, you must
use the copy command.  Place a copy of your program in
the directory using the following command:
% cp program.c Courses/MIM3132

Note that I am assuming for the purposes of this
example that the file you are turning in is named
program.c  and that the file is in your home directory
when you are submitting it.

If you wish, you may use the cd command to move to this
directory to confirm that your work has been correctly
submitted.  To do so, from your home directory type:
% cd Courses/MIM3132

To return back to your home directory, just type:
% cd 

Please note the following very important final comments.
1.  Under no circumstances are you ever to create 
    subdirectories within your Courses/MIM3132
    directory.
2.  The permission mode for the programs you are submitting
    must be set to 660.  To do this, type the following
    command:
    % chmod 660 program.c
    This must be done BEFORE you turn in the work.

Failure to follow these two steps will hinder our ability
to grade your work and may result in a loss of points on
the assignment.
