Instructions For Using The Submit Program
Download the submit program to your computer and run it.
The first time you use the submit program, you must create
a submit account.
Follow the instructions for submitting assignments
or changing your password/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
- Select a password - make sure you choose one that is easy to
remember.
- Enter your name.
- Enter your email address. We need this in case we need to send
you any important announcements during term. If you need to change your
email address later, follow the instructions under changing
your password or email address.
- Press OK. You can now submit your assignments electronically.
Submitting Assignments
The exact method you'll use for submitting assignments depends on
how
your instructor has set up the system.
- In all cases, run the submit program, enter your student number,
password, and the assignment number, then press the "submit" button.
- If you are expected to only submit a single file, select the
file from the dialog box and press "open". If you can't find your
program, try looking in different folders. Likely spots are in "A:",
"C:\TEMP", or "M:". Also, try changing the value specified in the
"Files of type" listbox to "All Files".
- If your instructor specified a list of files you must
submit, this list appears. Press OK, then select the first file from
the list and press "open". 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 then run
the submit program again.
- If your instructor has specified that you are to submit the
entire contents of a folder, select the folder and press OK.
- Once you've selected your file/folder, the contents of your
file(s) will be displayed. Verify that the files shown are in fact what
you want to submit.
- Verify each file by selecting the files from the "file"
listbox.
- Check the formatting and indentation of your program to make
sure it is as you intended.
- Since different compilers/text editors interpret tab
characters differently, you may have to adjust the "tab stop" scroller
at the bottom of the window until your indentation is correct. You'll
have to do this for each file.
- If you need to submit more files, press the "ADD" button and
select the additional file you want.
- When you are ready to submit, press the "submit" button.
- If you have not included all the files to submit, you will
be so informed. Press the "ADD" button to include the other files.
- If your files are submitted successfully, you will be given
a unique serial number. Record this number in a safe place, as you will
need it if we "lose" your assignment. This is your proof that you
submitted your program.
- If you do not get a serial number then your program was not
submitted. Try again.
- 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 email attachment. This will not be accepted as a
submitted program, but may help give you an extension so you can come
see your instructor to fix the problem.
- You can press the "View" button to view your submitted files.
- 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.
NOTE: if the submission of a file is mandatory, and you are not planning
to submit it (i.e., bonus parts), submit a text file with a comment (i.e.
"This part is not being submitted") both for your source code and executable
(rename the file *.asm and *.exe).
Changing your Password or Email
Address
- In the submit program, enter your student number and password,
then press the "update" button.
- Enter your new password and email address.
- Press OK.
Viewing your Marked Assignments
- In the submit program, enter your student number, password, and
the assignment number, then press the "view" button.
- Your mark is shown at the button of the screen.
- Press the "marker" button to see the name and email address of
the person who marked your assignment.
- Press the "save" button to save a copy of your marked files.
These files are saved in enhanced metafile format (EMF). EMF files can
be viewed with software that comes with Windows XP. For older versions
of Windows you'll need to find and download a free EMF viewer from the
web.
