Instructions For Using The Submit Program

Download the SYSC 2002 submit program to your computer.

For assignments, select course "SYSC 2002 Assignments". For lab tests, select the appropriate lab section, e.g. "SYSC 2002 D1 Lab" if you are in D1. You will need to set up an account (see below) for each of these separately, i.e. one account for "SYSC 2002 Assignments" and another for the appropriate lab test section that you are in. It is recommended that you use the same password for both to avoid confusion! If you forget your password, e-mail Prof. Marshall specifying your student number and the account, i.e. assignments, D1, or D2, for which you need your password reset.
The first time you use each submit program, you must create a submit account.
Follow the instructions for submitting assignments or changing your password/name/e-mail address below.

Creating a Submit Account

To create a submit account, run the submit program, enter your student number, and press the "register" button. Then

  1. Select a password - make sure you choose one that is easy to remember.
  2. Enter your name.
  3. Enter your e-mail address. We need this in case we need to send you any important announcements during term. If you need to change your e-mail address later, follow the instructions under changing your password, name or e-mail address.
  4. Press OK. You can now submit your assignments electronically.

Submitting Assignments

  1. In the submit program, enter your student number, password, and the assignment number. Then press the "submit" button.
  2. You will be shown a list of files that you must submit. Press OK.
  3. Select the specified file, then press "Open". If you can't find your program, try looking in different folders. Likely spots are in "A:" or "C:\TEMP". Also, try changing the value specified in the "Files of type" listbox to "All Files". If you have given your file a different name than the one specified, you may select your file instead, and it will be renamed accordingly when you submit it. Bear in mind, however, if the classes defined in that file also have the incorrect name, the TA will not be able to test your program, and you will lose marks. It's better for you to quit the submit program, rename your files and classes as specified in the assignment (and retest them), and the run the submit program again.
  4. Verify that the file shown is in fact what you want to submit.
  5. When you are ready to submit, press the "submit" button.
  6. If you are unable to submit your program because of technical difficulties or because you forgot your password, send your program to your instructor as an e-mail attachment before the deadline. Late assignments are not accepted under any circumstances.
  7. You can press the "View" button to view your submitted files.
  8. If, after submitting, you discover an error in your program, you can resubmit at any time before the deadline. Only the last version you submit will be marked.

Changing your Password, Name or E-mail Address

  1. In the submit program, enter your student number, name and password, then press the "update" button.
  2. Enter your new password and e-mail address.
  3. Press OK.
    Note: If you only want to change your name or e-mail address, you don't have to change the default values in the "password" boxes. Similarly, if you only want to change your password, you do not have to retype your name or e-mail address.

Viewing your Marked Assignments

  1. In the submit program, enter your student number, password, and the assignment number, then press the "view" button.
  2. It usually takes about a week for the TA's to mark the assignments.
  3. If you have questions about your assignment mark or comments, contact the TA who marked your assignment. The TA's name and e-mail are given when you click "marker".
  4. Contact Prof. Marshall only if you cannot resolve your problems with the TA.
