Electronic Submission of Assignments
Some assignments may require you to submit files as part of the
assignment.
Requirements
To submit a file:
- You must have an account on the EE Unix network.
- The file length must be 64kB or less.
- Text files written by you must include your name and
student number near the beginning of the file.
- You must be logged in on one of the Sun 4 machines.
- The files to be submitted must be readable from this machine.
Procedure
Run the command ~elec464/bin/submit. This is a shell
script which takes two arguments: (1) a `key' which is a string
given in the assignment and (2) the name of the file to be
submitted. For example, if an assignment question states that a
file should be submitted with a key of 4q3vhd and your
answer is in the file pport.vhd, then you would submit
the assignment using the command:
~elec464/bin/submit 4q3vhd pport.vhd
Keep an exact copy of any file you submit until you
receive your mark for that assignment.
You may re-submit a file any number of times until the
assignment deadline.
Details
The submit script copies the file to a mode 600 directory owned
by the course ID (elec464) using a setuid program and then
e-mails an MD5 checksum of the file to you and to `elec464'.
This e-mailed checksum will show the time you submitted the
file. If the submission fails for a reason beyond your control
you will be allowed to re-submit a file whose checksum matches
the original checksum.
WARNING
Anyone caught attempting to copy/alter/delete another student's
assignment or taking actions designed to prevent other students
from submitting assignments will be severely penalized.
